Spin Nightclub Formerly: Montage
The multi-level nightclub with the rooftop deck is the place to be, so start early and dance with the DJ. The music is great, the bar is generous, and the place is crowded. Be warned: you will have a good time.

Best dance club (when it's open)
This on-again, off-again warehouse disco is the only club of its type in San Diego, though it might still be frowned upon by those expecting the more glamorous L.A. or New York dance universes. Once the West Coast Production Company (WCPC or Wussy Pussy), it morphed into Montage, then Spin, with each version incorporating the multi-level experience with a rooftop deck, second-floor view down to the dance floor, and multiple rooms/areas indoor and out. Cover charge, costly drinks, tons of attitude, but also lots of hot guys, great dance music, and after hours. When it's firing on all cylinders (including some great guest vocalist cameo surprises), this club can provide a fun-filled night of dancing, drinking, and people-watching, with quick escapes to the roof for that breathtaking San Diego skyline view. But the club is always closing, then re-opening, and different promotions are hit or miss, leaving Rich's the more consistent option for dancing with the stand-and-model night owls (albeit in a building not nearly as architecturally impressive as WCPC/Montage/Spin/(Next Incarnation)).
So Sad
This bar is the largest dance bar in SD. I really enjoyed the layout and size. BUT AGAIN, we where getting ready to dance the night away, when the music turned into some 'bearish overbassed trance' Can managment not see the potential of this bar?!?!? If these dance bars are all that SD has to offer for dance, and if the locals are content, then I have to recommend visiting elsewhere.
The Best
There is nothing that comes close to this mega-club. The best DJ's friendly staff! See you there!

Fresh Face
I have been to club spin a couple times on their only gay night, saturday. they have pretty good djs who change depending on the week and its also the only after hours place in sd that I know of. this past saturday is what made me write a review. they have a new bartender who is actually gay and SO hot!! if they continue to hire staff like like that (6' modelesque) I will be back every week (and he was actually nice considering most of the b*tchy twinks behind gay bars)!
