Bar Ninety is Back: Corner Bar Reinvented

Published : 11/9/2009 by Taylor Doms

Corner Bar Reinvented: Bar Ninety is a breath of fresh air for East Village’s neighborhood vibe.

Moving away from the irony of its former alias, Lucky D’s, this vibrant and uniquely-designed lounge, Bar Ninety, is refreshed with a new moniker and new scenester crowd.

Bar Ninety looks and feels the same as any Gaslamp ultra lounge, yet lacks the trendy pretensions. The interior boasts an aesthetic appeal that was brought to life by locally-famed Davis Krumins, whose whimsical and eclectic interior designs can be found inside some of San Diego’s most gorgeous and renowned spaces – including Side Bar, Bar West, and Stingaree.

Inside Bar Ninety, a collision between golden Far East artifacts and a hybrid of modern-rock’ n’ roll elements come together in a curiously-inspired visual experience.

Eye-catching gold Japanese masks are set against lush brown fur along vintage trunk-like walls. Another wall is lined with candles thoughtfully set in recycled wood sconces that create a sultry ambience. Metallic purple faux crocodile lounge sofas set beneath three black chandeliers – very boldly draped in crystal and gold bubbles – remind us of those fierce ‘80s archetypes that we secretly hope will never ever go out of style.

Though ornate, Bar Ninety’s relaxed dress code and absence of clipboards give the space a sense of laid-back relief and East Village edge that’s both rough and refined.

Maintaining its neighborhood vibe by evening, Bar Ninety offers patrons a gracious happy hour from 6-10pm, nightly, to enjoy while watching the game on 10 mounted TVs. The happy hour menu features appropriately-priced drinks and bites (for namesake), including $2.90 Shock Top drafts, $3.90 Wells, and $4.90 appetizers – ranging from your typical bar fare to the tantalizing Ahi Salad, served with a ginger vinaigrette.

By night, Bar Ninety hosts live musical performances where DJs spin a variety of genres from a decorative nook slightly above the dance floor. A large and easily accessible bar set in the middle of the venue makes it delightfully convenient for you to try Bar Ninety’s list of signature cocktails.

Although the lounge is presently open only Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, owner Brian Nappi says he is looking forward to opening Bar Ninety on Sunday nights in the near future, in order to host East Village’s official Industry night. Sounds good to us!

Bar Ninety: Five Stars!

Published by: Meeshie Nguyen 2/13/10

 

Bar Ninety is a great bar in East Village that has helped to support our Charity of the Month in December and January!  

In December, our Charity of the Month was the San Diego Coalition for the Homeless in which Bar Ninety helped sponsored a Food and Clothes drive.  They offered anyone that brought in food or clothes a free shot.  We were able to help needy families by collecting warm clothes for the winter as well as tons of food for their Christmas dinners!

In January, our Charity of the Month was the Leukemia & Lymphoma cancer society.  Again, we asked Bar Ninety if we could hold another fundraiser there...AND again, their staff was so supportive!  Bar Ninety offered a free shot to anyone that came to our fundraiser and who gave more than $5 to our Charity.  

It's wonderful when businesses can collaborate in order to help local charities...and we thank Bar Ninety, its staff, and patrons!
