Aero Club Bar — Restaurant in San Diego

Hi. It was my first & last time coming to this bar and it’s wasn’t the cool environment or the tasty food because that I would come back!! It was the female bartender with the blonde mullet haircut and black cat eyeliner. Again it was my first time and their liquor selection beautiful displayed! I loved it! They had so many bottles, beers, and even seltzers! I first got one of your signature cocktail on the menu. Good drink! Strong!! Loved it. Took me a bit to drink because I was just enjoying it tbh. So I went back to the bar and I was like I bet they can make a killer mojito. So one of my girlfriend came with me to keep me company and I asked the bartender if she could made me a mojito. She responded, “you know you’re at a whiskey bar, right?” With just attitude. So of course I got frustrated because no I didn’t know that and second this was my first time. Even if they are a whiskey bar or not it’s okay to nicely inform someone of the type of drinks yall have or don’t have. Because of her bad attitude I just look at my friend and said,” hey what was your drink?” She just wanted a beer. We got her beer and I was ready to just go back to our seats. So I told the bartender or we’ll just her beer and i knew she felt bad because of the way she responded to me due to the fact that she offered me to make me a drink that could be “mojito inspired.” Why didn’t she start with that then?? Instead she talked to me like I was stupid. Again I never been here I just heard on this place thru tik tok. I told the bartender that I just wanted the beer she wanted to ask me if I’m gonna to keep the tap open. Hell no. Not after that terrible attitude. And then she I guess had some balls to ask for tip. Guuuuurl if you’re going to be rude to a customer please don’t make yourself look more stupid and ask me to tip you! Hell no. But of course I think she just lacked common sense and doesn’t know who to treat a customer nicely. I pressed 0 on that thing so quick. Then while she was getting the beer she talks shit to another bartender like I didn’t hear her. For being a,”whiskey bar,” please make sure the bartenders have some damn hair on their chest and don’t get so offended after treating a customer terribly. Again atmosphere and food BOMB. That one bartender...

If you're looking for pure FUN, Aero Club is where you need to go. My boyfriend and I seriously can't get enough of this place — it's our go-to escape. The vibe is electric, full of great energy, and incredibly social. We've met so many fun, interesting people just hanging out near the iconic whiskey bar — which, by the way, has one of the most impressive whiskey selections in town!

We love starting the night with a little friendly competition — pinball, Mario Kart, basketball — before heading to the food truck for what has easily become our favorite: the smoky burger (trust me, it's a must-try 🔥). The whole place is a perfect blend of casual and cool.

The staff here takes the experience to the next level. The bartenders are always on point — super friendly, attentive, and you can tell they love what they do. The bar manager, Lee, runs a tight ship: everything's clean, organized, and the whole team seems genuinely happy to be there. Special shoutouts to Kaylee, Eva, and Izay — who literally went above and beyond when I lost my phone one night and didn't stop searching until it turned up. Such a relief!

Even when it’s busy (and it does get busy — it's that popular), it never feels overwhelming or overcrowded. There’s always a great mix of games, people, and that laid-back-but-lively atmosphere that keeps us coming back. Snag the pool table if you can — it’s a fun bonus.

Oh and we drive 20 minutes to get here. No place like this! ❤️❤️❤️

Aero Club has quickly become our happy place — and honestly, one of the best-kept gems in the city. Can’t wait to be...

This is a great whiskey bar with a huge selection of American, Scotch, and other whiskies from around the world. In my most recent visit, I found two rare whiskies--one American and one Scotch--that I have not been able to find at any liquor stores in the area, and I was glad that I had the chance to taste them. In addition to the great selection, the prices here are great--much better than comparable whiskey bars. Typically when I go to a bar, I expect to pay 1/3 to 1/4 of the bottle price for a dram, but for many drinks here, it costs even less than that! I have also had some of their cocktails on some occasions and they were among the best I've had (although I don't consider myself to be a cocktail fan).

There are, however, a couple areas that I think could be better. One is the smell in the bar. I don't know if it's from the cleaning product they use or what, but it certainly interferes the bit with the whiskey tasting. The second is related to the first in that the glasses that are used for whiskey are old fashioned glasses, which also make it harder to smell the whiskey. If you don't typically like to smell your whiskey before drinking it, these two minor points probably wouldn't bother you at all.

Overall, this is definitely my go-to bar for a...
