Jolt'n Joe's
Wow!!! Jolt'n Joe's Party & Event Center in San Diego's Gaslamp is awesome! It is San Diego's best kept secret! It is a really large venue (must be at least 15,000 square feet) on two floors. It is a really cool place for a party with something for everyone... It is also San Diego's best Sports Bar & Grill and Upscale Billiard Club with 20 top of the line Brunswick Gold crown pool tables, 4 Ping Pong tables, and darts too. It is the ultimate place to have a party or event. The manager said they can accomodate groups from 6-600! The food offered is really good comfort food! Jolt'n Joe's has HD screens everywhere! There must be at least 60 giant HD screens that play all sports and music videos too. Jolt'n Joes's even has this interactive video system called Buzzztime where you can play poker and trivia games while you wait for your food or just hang out. I was blown away with the upstairs outdoor patio with Mexican palapas, palm trees, and tin bar that overlooks fifth avenue! This place goes on forever! Originally, we went there for a buddies 30th birthday party and fell in love with the place and became regulars! Our friends had rented the upstairs VIP room which was really nicely decorated with a private pool table, plasma TV and couches! Some of our friends are vegetarians and the chef made some really special veggie appetizers which was a nice touch. The chef said he can do any kind of food from tacos to elegant cuisine. The venue's audio video system is state of the art! It has the capability to allow patrons to bring their IPODs and hook up to Jolt'n Joe's sound system and rock out to the music they really want to hear at their private party. We loved the place so much that we booked the VIP room for 2 upcoming Pittsburgh Steeler's games. When I go back to work I am going to talk to my boss Jolt'n Joe's about booking Jolt'n Joe's for aave a company party or our XMAS party! When you go to Jolt'n Joe's to eat or drink don't leave without checking out the upstairs which is where the pool tables, ping pong tables, darts, and the Beach Bar are! Really fun place to hang out and chill! Yankee slugger Joe Dimaggio the original Jolt'n Joe would really be proud of the place that was named in his honor!— August 14, 2009 4:26 a.m.
