Editorial Review for The Vanguard – by Katie Heffernan
In Short
Formerly known as Qtopia, this massive multilevel club radiates a sexy, energetic vibe. Grooves pump through towering speakers while colored lights flash against all-black walls; a central dance floor is large enough to accommodate more than 1,000 people. There's also an open-air patio and upper-level VIP balcony lounge, each with a full bar. An eclectic music mix features hip-hop, house, and rock and roll. Special events include everything from big-name concerts to art and fashion shows.

Bouncers and Staff was very rude, place was very dirty, definitly overpriced for the quality of club, no control, i definitly wouldn't recomend it or go there again. waste of a time, not worth the drive for me from san diego, ca. could have stayed at the worst bar in San Diego and had a better time. If you want to have a great time i would say it's definitly worth the drive down to san diego.
Pros: can't think of a single one, well maybe decent music.
Cons: expensive parking, dirty, overcroweded, no control, rude, overpriced, quality sucked

I will tell everyone I know not to come here. Security treated people like dirt including myself. I get up on the dance floor and meet a girl. Her Friends then ask me to look after her which I do becuase for some reason she enjoyed my company. Security then pulls me away from her accusing me of Sexual \Conduct.(I can't say it differently this site won't let me) On top of that,the girl and her friends yell at me for leaving her.I bring the girls up to the security guard to clear the situation then the security blatantly just walks away. I guess when someone is overweight,and can't get girls,they do stupid things like that. On top of that,myself and the other group of girls were forced to leave early becuase of security.Like all security guards,they talk tough,but they hide behind four other security guards to do so when the want to get personal. I definitely intend to pursue a course of action to have the club shut down for the mistreatment of myself and the group of girls I was with.
Pros: Girls are pretty
Cons: The staff was lousy as was the right to interact with people
