San Diego, California has some pretty cool restaurants and bars. In my recent trip this summer, I ended up visiting a few cool rooftop bars that you need to check out!
The Nolen
- Address: 453 Sixth Ave #7007, San Diego, CA 92101
- 🏠🔝 Rooftop views: Downtown San Diego skyline + some water views
- I highly recommend making a reservation or heading up to The Nolen at sunset. The views are amazing!
- What to order: The Nolen Smash: Reposado l Ginger Liqueur l Agave l Fresh Lemon l Basil
Fairweather Rooftop Bar
- Address: 793 J St, San Diego, CA 92101
- 🏠🔝 Rooftop views: Looking into Petco Park, home of the San Diego Padres!
- This is a cool rooftop bar. The best part? It looks into Petco Park. If the Padres are playing you should definitely visit.
King and Queen Cantina
- Address: 1490 Kettner Blvd, San Diego, CA 92101
- 🏠🔝 Rooftop views of Little Italy
- Kings and Queens does not take reservations, so expect a bit of a wait on the weekend. We tried to get dinner on a Saturday night and we were told the wait was 1 hour and 45 minutes. However, we came for brunch on Sunday morning before 9 and only waited about 5 minutes.
- What to order: avocado toast and a chorizo wet burrito. I definitely recommend sharing.
Rustic Root
- Address: 535 Fifth Ave, San Diego, CA 92101
- 🏠🔝 Rooftop views of Gaslamp
- We came to Rustic Root for some drinks! They have a great rooftop and I definitely recommend making reservations.
- Their cocktail menu is pretty unique! They list some commonly known Cocktails and then list a cocktail that is a twist on the original drink.
- What to order:
- Thespians Request (their take on a margarita) casa noble silver l Curaçao l cilantro coconut milk l lime
- The Bold and Beautiful Los vecinos mezcal l martini and rossi fiero l vanilla l passionfruit l lime
Morning Glory
- Address: 550 W Date St, San Diego, CA 92101
- 🏠🔝 Rooftop views of Little Italy
- This is the cutest place for brunch. The interior is super pink and lots of copper accents! Expect a wait here as this seems to be the most popular spot in the area. We arrived at about 9am on a Monday and ended up waiting 45 minutes.
- What to order: breakfast fried rice, Latte and souffle pancakes
