Onyx, christened in August 1999, quickly became San Diego Gaslamp Quarter's most sought after destination. This legend in the making was created out of the remains of the infamous 1960s "Famous Door" cocktail lounge. The essence of the Onyx room is it's revival of the "Classic Cocktail" along with vibrant lounge entertainment and a cutting edge nightclub. Cocktails, urban beats, an energetic dance arena and just plain cool -what more could you ask for?
What really makes a club are the people. It is here that Onyx has captured something special as it attracts an open minded, up-for-anything, and above all incredibly friendly crowd. Onyx brings something different to the culture of downtown nightlife. It is a nightclub at ease with all the details that make a nightclub really work, and an unusually tight synergy in the music. The visuals continue to enhance the overall experience of the Onyx Room.
While Onyx eludes one defining style, it offers a mix of many different styles. Understanding what makes a club truly great is not the music alone, but rather the artists approach to the music and their own interpretation and arrangement of the rhythms. Onyx is home to a variety of vinyl connessiuers spinning everything from rare grooves and break beats, to hip-hop and house music. Live acid jazz bands and solo jazz musicians also grace the stage in the back room of the Onyx bringing auditory delights the guest five days a week! |
