One of the main reasons I supported this bar was the laid back atmosphere and the bartenders. It was a neighborhood type place where I helped slice limes or collected pitcher and glasses when it was busy. I never gave any problems Always polite and aware of how hard a job it can be so I was never pushy or demanding. Well all that came to an end as of last Friday, Oct.10th when I was treated as if I was being a nuisance by patiently waiting my turn to order. I was told not once but twice by bartender Shawn to move away from the " ordering area if I wasn t going to order: I was not holding up a line. What I was was the last person in that bunch to try and place my order. But before I could he was instructing me to move away. Now I did not deserve that treatment and found it to be insulting, rude and uncalled for. It will also be the last time I will be seen at The Hole since I am not valued as a faithful, trouble-free customer. I sure hope the other bartenders will not follow that type of behavior . So enter at your own risk.

This is definitely the place to be for Sunday beer bust. Its located in Point Loma across from the USMC recruit depot. You cant really pinpoint a "type crowd" for this place because its got a mix of just about everything. Theres no attitude (unless you bring your own), its just friendly people hanging out, drinking a few beers, and having a good time. During the summer, get there early (4-ish) because there is usually a line. All the bartenders, including the str8 ones, are friendly and laid back. Nino is awesome. I work in law enforcement and can tell you that security is quick to appropriately handle any problems that come up, although theyre rare. (its generally people whove had too much to drink.) The owners make a point to get to know the customers and are always asking for input on how to make the place better. Ive never felt uncomfortable or out of place here, in fact, quite the opposite. People who arent into a scene and just want a cool bar to kick back, grab a beer, and make some friends will love this place.

FUN!!!! The venue itself is diva, but the old bar in the front near the street has a lot of character exactly what I would think of an inviting southern bar. The drinks were strong and delicious! The drag show was HILARIOUS as I was laughing my ass off at the jokes. People all around seemed happy, drunk, and just having a good time. I had a really good time here and would go again - I just wish there was dancing!

Well priced drinks, and an amazing staff. The new owners have made some great improvements. Sunday Funday and Drenched Mondays are a blast. Thursday is a great night to relax and enjoy some tasty fare. Friday and Saturday are always fun, especially Trivia Friday (the first Friday of each month). Come down and enjoy the best kept secret in San Diego!

Was visiting town, had never been to a real gay bar before, much less a bear bar! I had a great time, had great drinks, and met some nice guys. Very comfortable and welcoming feeling place. Not to mention the eye candy. ;)

Well drinks are a value that will knock you out if you arent careful! Wish there was better parking because there is none when it is busy; best to travel with friends!

Kinda dicey, but fun. For of us got petty drunk for less than 100 total. And they serve mixed drinks in (mini) pitchers... Karaoke night seems pretty fun and popular.

This place is a complete Hole, more like THE complete hole. Drinks served in pitchers and hand poured. Nice little inside and outside place.
