  I was aggressively verbally assaulted by a bouncer at Oxford Social Club on the night of Saturday, May 5th. While a male friend was in line paying the cover charge to enter the club, my two female friends and I were standing in the downstairs lobby area. Not knowing I was being watched, I took one step forward when a stalky presumably Middle Eastern bouncer in his late 30’s/early 40’s with little hair on his head and a goatee screamed “stop moving” and "stand back" repeatedly in a very hostile and violent manner (similar to how a police officer would approach a criminal). As he was aggressively yelling, he looked as though at any point he was ready to assault us. Unable to comprehend what he was reacting to, I froze in complete shock. I was stunned, terrified and shaken by his actions. It is hard to articulate the severity of the issue but please understand it was the most aggressive uncalled for behavior I've ever experienced in my LIFE. My girlfriend stepped in and told him his behavior was completely unacceptable, we were paying customers patiently waiting to get inside. The bouncer continued to yell at us with the same hostility while my friend tried to reason with him. His tone and mannerisms were so aggressive that another employee interfered, telling him to calm down. The other employee said he was going to take care of it and handle the situation, however, we do not feel he was taking the severity of the bouncer's incomprehensible actions very seriously. We left shortly after, still stunned by how both of these employees treated us. I've travelled throughout this country and around the world, have experienced nightlife and club scenes in many places and have NEVER been so mistreated by ANYONE. As an employer, you need to ensure your employees are trained professionals, and not on edge, macho egotistical men that berate and assault your female clients for no justified reason. This isn't his personal life, he cannot verbally abuse women as he chooses. His behavior was so violent and threatening that in future, if this occurs again, I will have no problem reporting this incident to the police.

  Venue was nice, service was great, but the djs were honestly horrible. The “warm up” DJ switched songs every 15 seconds, and what I assume to be the main DJ who played after midnight had the sorriest excuses for transitions I’ve ever had the displeasure of hearing. Literally stopped his songs in the middle of a verse to switch to something completely nonsensical. I would literally rather listen to a Spotify playlist. That would have made more sense. I’m

  I came for a special event, so my experience is different and not for the late night clubbing experience as everyone else wrote. The venue is nice, lots of lounge chairs. 2 bars, one in front and back. Bathroom outside and it’s nice and clean. The drinks felt a bit weak, so we started ordering double shots. When we started leaving regular clubbers were starting to line up. Crowd looks more of late 20s to 30s.

  The bouncers at the door were very rude and ruined our night. There was an issue with the guest list and instead of double checking and trying to find our names, they got confrontational and rude. There was a short Asian guy who said he works for them and wanted to help us, I think he was a promoter, but ended up making the matter worse. These people should understand that their customers are there to have a good time, and not deal with their employees' issues, inner drama, and insecurities. I would not recommend this place to anyone. If you're out to have a good time, go for any other place, even if these guys get you in, most everyone is rude inside, and will most likely ruin your good mood. There are many other places worth spending your time and money in San Diego.
