Mainly known as a transgender bar they open early in the AM and feels like you walked into a bar from the 1950's era of class. Very much a Mad Men feel minus the cigars, drinks can be pricey, no tap beer!
terrible managment
I would never recomend anyone going to this bar due to the manegment kicking me out and using prophane language twords me for shaking the pool table I assume that this is a pool bar not to include it is a tiny bar single person restroom and gets over packed there is also no lock on the restrooms I don't like getting sexually asulted when I hafto pee.
David Lynch-esque
Slightly off-kilter, eccentric, sometimes downright bizarre, but mostly just a quirky dive bar, SRO Lounge is truly unique. Drag queens spice up the festivities many nights, but the clientele is never dull when the place is full. If the cantina in Star Wars were mixed with a John Waters setting and decorated like a downtown Vegas slot palace, the result might look like SRO on Friday and Saturday nights. At other times, it's not quite as avant-garde, but still more entertainingly odd (and occasionally creepy) than any gay bar in San Diego. Or maybe the entire Southwest.
SRO Lounge a home away from home
I have read the reviews and What I can say about the SRO is that for me it was a home away from home on Friday and Saturdays it is truley a place for the transgender world to go and feel acceptance and to many who feel they are transgender but have no clue as what way to go the girls there are very helpful resources. Ray ray the bartender is very kind and sweet and eager to make you feel welcomed he is also good about remembering your name so that the next time you come in you wont feel like a stranger. Girls there are the lerking men but i tried to take it as a flattering thing rather than make it a negative thing. over all SRO won me over I dont even spend much time in hillcrest anymore sro is my home away from home
