Cute rooftop bar with decent service. Went for happy hour and had $9 cocktails, which was great. It’s set up well for small groups of people and the fireplaces were very welcome as the sun started to go down.

Great place to chat, music and atmosphere is super chill, the waiters are very prompt and attentive. We went for 2 occasions, one was a Fri night, the drinks were perfect, unfortunately the kitchen was already closed when we arrived but the view and vibe made up for it. On Sunday we went for brunch, the coffee is strong, the pomegranate mimosas were okay, and I'm not sure if I was hungry but my my BLT was delicious and perfect 10/10

Bri single-handedly ruined my birthday :/ I love coming to the nolen & honestly I’m not sure why she was in a bad mood but that doesn’t excuse the terrible service & the attitude when we just wanted to get a drink for my birthday. I came at 10:30 & she was already giving us an attitude for no reason. Still want to come back but bri was bad & not to mention gave us a fake name for no reason.

Bri was a horrible server. I went for my friends birthday and did not feel welcomed. When I got there she was giving us attitude and was trying to convince us to not stay. I LOVE the nolen but not bri. 4/22/24 10:30 pm.

Fun spot to grab a cocktail and check out the view. Our server was prompt and very attentive to our table. Highly recommend coming around sunset if possible.

Horrible. Made a reservation for a group of coworkers then canceled within 45 mins because some of their flights were delayed. They charged me $80 and refused to refund the money.

Unprofessional. Obnoxious. After being seated temporarily on the stools/fireplace table, we were told the server would take ua to a table near the view when it opened. That never happened. After receiving one drink and deciding to not order food or another drink at that time, we were ignored the rest of our time there. No one refilled our water or asked if we needed anything, even after an hour of being there (though we stayed within the 90 minute allotted stay time). They stated no kids allowed after 6 yet there were children past 7. Very distracting. The view is nice, the drinks were good. That’s about it. Would not recommend.

Pretty cool rooftop, cool atmosphere. Great view of San Diego skyline and Petco stadium.Beers and food came out pretty fast and was good.I didn't like that they automatically included 18% tip and then recommended an additional tip. Beware

One of my favorite rooftop bars in SD, very nice views, happy hour specials also really good too, really nice place to hang out for happy hour on the weekdays

The perfect mixture of ambience with a drinks. The view of the harbor and Gaslamp (5th st) at sunset is worth the small tables. The Negroni is a must!!!

Jerry is the worst, was about to close a deal with a client via FaceTime and he kicked me out for saying I was loud while I had a tab opened, please get him fired such a disgrace, if he’s still around please avoid this place, he has a power trip.

Favorite roof top bar! No cover. Great views. Great customer service. Great mezcal drinks. Good sauvignon blanc. They have heaters outside. Only downside is sometimes the fireplaces/ and or heaters give off the smell of gas.

Good environment for taking in the rooftop views of Pet Co park, Coronado bridge, and downtown San Diego. The chilequiles and the drinks were delicious. The music they had playing at the time (3/16 12pm) was on point. The bartender was awesome and friendly. I've recommended this place to many.
