This place is amazing!! Great drinks, retro prices especially during happy hour, and the coolest vibe ever. I could come here every week. The staff is super nice and attentive. I almost don't want to review it because I don't want it to get so big that I can't come here whenever I want, but this place deserves to be known. Food, drinks, dancing, lounging - it has something for everyone. It's definitely one of one in the best way possible. 

Business response:

We understand the 'secret spot' feeling, and we promise to always keep that special atmosphere you love. We're thrilled you appreciate everything from the drinks and food to the dancing and lounging. We're truly honored to be your 'one of one' favorite spot, and we look forward to seeing you every week (or whenever you can sneak in!).

So incredibly fun! Love the theme, loved the private space in front of the huge Farrah Fawcett print, loved the music! I'm cheap, so I felt like the cost of the bottle service was astronomical, but normal drinks were fine. I can see what people go out here and celebrate big occasions! It was also decorated for the holidays when we went which felt like a plus up. Check it out!

Good Night John Boy is a dance bar in the Gaslamp area of Downtown San Diego that serves cocktails among other drinks with music. Ambiance-wise: Good Night John Boy keeps a disco vibe in the setup, decor, and drinks. At the time of this review, they currently have their holiday theme going with Christmas decorations and drinks. The bar is two stories, and has multiple bars to order drinks (I believe there are four separate bars to order from). Downstairs has various places to sit, and there is a disco themed dance-floor at... read more

Fun bar in the heart of downtown to get your festivities on. I expected a little bit more decorations based off the line outside but it was worth a wait!

We appreciate your feedback regarding the decorations, and we'll definitely take that into consideration for future events. We're happy you enjoyed the fun atmosphere in the heart of downtown!

Great drinks and great space to dance your night away. Came here on a Friday night and parking was fairly easy (surprise!). It's almost Christmas season and all the cocktails are Christmas themed. The staff was decked out in Christmas outfits. The drinks were pretty, strong and delicious! At about $18 a glass, I think they're just slightly above the average price. Bartenders were friendly but they need more of them at peak times! There are multiple bars, at least 2 on the first floor and one on top. I like the spacious,... read more

I came here to see what the hype was about when they turned good night John boy into holiday bar. This place is one of the magical places to visit one celebrating the holidays. It's so cute and decorated if you're feeling hungry, they serve pizza and burgers. If you need help finding out what to drink, the bartenders are very knowledgeable and help you find what you're into. Definitely must try the drink inside the disco ball because you could take it home. Get ready for the holidays.
