The Double Deuce — Restaurant in San Diego

☆☆☆☆ One Star for the Bar Stool Bandit

Ah, Double Deuce — where the drinks flow, the music twangs, and apparently the bar stools vanish mid-sip like it’s some kind of country-western version of a magic show no one asked for.

My fiancée and I were having a damn good time. We’d committed to contributing generously to the bar’s nightly revenue — drinks, tips, the works. Then, without warning, a security guard taps me on the shoulder and points beneath me like I’d dropped a wedding ring or a small child. I stand up, confused but cooperative, only for the guy to yoink my bar stool and walk away like a cowboy collecting taxes.

He didn’t say a word. No explanation, no “excuse me,” not even a casual “this stool’s being recalled for crimes against humanity.” He just ghosted my seat like it owed him money. Moments later, the rest of the bar patrons got the same treatment. One by one, stools were snatched like a toddler’s favorite toy at daycare.

Are the stools haunted? Did they not pay rent? Was there an emergency line dance that required an immediate clearing of the bar rail? We’ll never know, because the staff seemed more interested in reenacting a silent Western heist than communicating with paying customers.

Look, I’ve been to a lot of bars — divey ones, fancy ones, weird ones — but never have I had my seat stolen while actively paying to sit on it. If you’re into mysterious furniture disappearances and cryptic security rituals, Double Deuce is your spot. If you like normal human interaction and chairs that stick around, maybe try literally anywhere else.

Thanks for the weird...

STAY AWAY! The bouncers here are looking to fight anyone. Its common that they throw people out even for the smallest thing from what I heard from the locals outside. I was minding my own business about to video my wife while she rode the bull. We were just standing there along with everyone else watching and waiting for our turn to ride for about a half an hour when this short mean looking black bouncer just came up to me arbitrarily and told me to leave. I explained I was waiting for my wife to ride and I was going to video it. He didn't care and just started screaming at me to move. I said I want to see a manager. Instead of getting a manager he had 2 other bouncer blind side me, carry me outside and slammed me to the ground. Im 45 years old and did not threaten this man. I called the police and waited for the police to show up for 45 minutes as I was going to press assault charges as bouncers in a club can not be physical with anyone unless someone gets physical with them. I know the law. They assaulted me when I did nothing to provoke them. Im still going to look into pressing charges and also will look into suiting the bar. This really isn't what I was looking for on my vacation but clearly these people are out of control and they messed with the...

I’m writing one star because I have the option of zero stars isn’t a available. I don’t usually write reviews but the racism I dealt with leaves me with no choice. Initially I went in thinking I was going to have fun until I encountered “Rachel” at the mechanical bull spot. Something felt off when I noticed that she would signal the guy controlling the bull to skip over me. So I asked her if they went by numbers and she said she didn’t know. Then I proceeded to ask her what her name was and not only did she say she doesn’t know where my place was in line after I paid she also didn’t “have a name.” I told my friend with blonde hair and blue eyes to ask her not even a second after I asked her and she said her name was Rachel. When I went across the street I told a random person about the situation and he told me that that it was “usual” for her to behave this way. When he went, Rachel had asked him where he was from and after he said he was white she was nice to him...idk what kind of business they run but I can tell that this is the kind of business that will probably end up on Facebook for racist employees. Only time will tell. The bouncers at the other bar right next door said that people say that bar is racist all...
