Bang SD (formerly Bang Bang, briefly Bang on 5th) is a hybrid sushi restaurant and late-night nightclub at 762 5th Avenue in the Gaslamp Quarter. The original Bang Bang ran 11 years on Market Street before closing in June 2024 and reopening that summer in the long-running Atomic Gaslamp nightclub space — keeping Bang's Asian-fusion sushi menu and adding a full DJ-driven nightclub program.
Operating Thursday through Saturday from 5pm to 2am, the room transitions from sushi service into DJ-led late-night programming as the night progresses. Bookings span guest DJs, themed nights (Halloween parties, holiday events), and weekly recurring sets routed through Showtime Presents and other Gaslamp promoters. The venue is marketed as housing one of the largest disco balls on the West Coast.
Notable as one of the most ambitious recent openings in the Gaslamp — a brand reset that resurrected one of San Diego's longest-running Asian fusion concepts inside a historic nightclub footprint. Recommended for groups wanting dinner and a late-night party at the same address.
