The World Famous Casbah: Live music in San Diego since 1989...
by Neal Reith on I have to admit that I have only been back once since they remodeled and that was some time ago. Let's go back before the remodel: I was waiting tables in VA-HI so I would get off around midnight. At the time we had given up on intown living because the prices had skyrocketed and the hole we were renting wasn't worth it (plus, the landlady was insane. And I don't mean an acceptable level of insane, either) so we moved out Scott Blvd. in between Midtown and Decatur. All I'm going to say about that is HUGE MISTAKE! We broke the lease six months early and came back to Midtown..anyhoodles..when I would get off work we would drive into town just to soak up that special funk that only Midtown can produce. The Majestic was our spot. Going late you could always see some very 'special' people and it was always awesome. One night we were sitting in a booth near the windows and an older guy from the home across the street came in. We watched him take his newspaper and fold each and every crease repeatedly. It was awesome. We asked the cook about him and he said he has been coming there for years and always orders the same meal and nothing can touch. If it touches then they have to redo his entire meal. Obsessive-Compulsive a little? Another night we watched a chick take three forks and put the prongs under the ketchup lid, screw the lid on, and then marvel at her creation of forks protruding from the bottle. I swear I was never triipping when I went to the Majestic but somehow I always felt like I was. Another memorable moment was on Halloween. Yay! Drunks in costumes! I was sitting there and I heard the guy behind me make a very noticeable noise. I jumped up just in time as he puked down the back of the booth I had been sitting in. You just threw up in my seat there, Ralph! The server came out with a mop (oh god, I'm going to puke) and started mopping it, well, mostly slopping it around. He was very apologetic and told us we could move and have our meal comped. We didn't take the comp but we did move. Hell, it was worth the price of the show. Then came our food and I had ordered, I swear, vegetable soup and grilled cheese. Oh yeah, vegetable soup after seeing someone chuck right there near you. The server asked if I wanted something else but I said no because I live on the edge like that. Yeah. Just. Like. That. Fast forward to the visit after the remodel: I took my daughter there for breakfast and I about shit when I saw the new, higher prices. OK. So I did splurge since we don't go out for breakfast often but seriously? Breakfast should not cost $40 unless someone is going to give me a friggin happy ending.
by Arron Krutz on There was absolutely nothing that I didn't love about this place. Went 2 nights in a row, it was that good! The decor is chic and full of energy. The first time around we ordered a few dishes on the menu to share and everything was out of control! The second day, we went for the Sushi. 3 words: Toro Toro Roll! Wow! Add to that a highball of McCallan 18 filled to the brim for just $28! Sweet!
