When JPR was tapped in 2006 to build buzz for Stingaree, — the largest and most exclusive restaurant and nightlife destination to ever open in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter — we saw an opportunity to use Stingaree to underscore the overall transformation of San Diego into a destination on par with other major metropolitan areas. Stingaree is not just another nightclub.
The multi-million dollar venue has elevated the status of San Diego’s nightlife and entertainment scene and become the hot spot to catch a glimpse of celebrities, professional athletes and San Diego’s most stylish crowd.
Three years after opening, Stingaree continues to draw lines around the block, and its popularity is fueled in part by continued prominent placements in top tier national media outlets, including Maxim, People, US Weekly, Los Angeles Times, The Miami Herald, New York Times and Travel + Leisure.
Accolades for Stingaree include prominent placement on the coveted Condé Nast Traveler Hot List in 2007. Also, Stingaree received an impressive #5 ranking on the Top-10 Hot New Bars in America poll by MSN.com. In that poll Stingaree was placed alongside leading nightlife venues in Los Angeles, New York, Miami and Las Vegas – which demonstrates that San Diego is no longer a sleepy beach town.
