Welcome Home, Beautiful!

We are proud to be Southern California’s only 7-days-a-week, Nicky Award-Winning, women’s bar.
Since its conception in 2009, Gossip Grill has blossomed into a full patio bar and restaurant with a dance floor. As the San Diego sunsets, Gossip transforms into a dance nightclub for the ladies – don’t worry we also play nice with the boys and everything in between.

The perfect combination of ambiance and tastes will have you crawling back for more. Gossip is decked out with feminine-inspired art, fabulous chandeliers, and a foliage facade outdoor patio bar with two fire pits, that allows everyone to enjoy Hillcrest the way it was supposed to be enjoyed – outdoors. Pair that with modern American Comfort Food and you’ve got yourself a one-of-a-kind five-star women’s bar.

21+ after 2 pm on Sat & Sun. Hours are subject to change for minors during special events. Please call ahead to confirm possible age restrictions.

    Came on a Friday night, it was lively and loud. Our server was fantastic. I tried 3 signature cocktails and all were amazing. The eager beaver was my favorite. The food was delicious. The deviled egg of the month was AMAZING.

    Fun, inclusive community of women. We sat on the front patio which is quieter. Great drinks and service.

    I booked the reservation on open table during hours it wasn’t open so I paid 100$ for a deposit and then they weren’t open that time 🙃

    We had a great time, visiting from Canada. San Diego is lucky to have the Gossip Grill!!! The food was wonderful, better than anything we had the 4 days prior. I hope it’s there for many years to come.
