“ Solid drinks and great service. Definitely worth checking out if you’re trying to enjoy a drink and a view on the rooftop. Keep in mind gratuity is included on your bill. ”
“ Great place to eat and drink!! Views are spectacular and happy hour is to go to!! ”
“ Great rooftop bar in San Diego! Amazing views and good cocktails and bites. Service was friendly main feedback would to check in with groups a little more frequently. Note it is on top of a Courtyard Marriott so you do have to go through that lobby to get up to The Nolen ”
“ Located at the top of a Courtyard hotel, this place was great. A real rooftop bar with open area but good cover in case the weather turn. The cocktails were amazing, except for the sangria. The ambience was really nice and inviting. The views are great for the area. They do have a tapas concept with American food. So we ordered different small plates for the table, which were fulfilling. Overall, will definitely recommend. ”
“ Had reservations on a Saturday night. We were seated quickly and were waited on within a few minutes. Drinks came pretty quickly and wait staff checked in with us often. It was an amazing setting. Beautiful view of the downtown skyline. There was a full bar and several tables, as well as a fire table. It was a little cool outside, but there was a heater so it was comfortable. Our table was covered but the tables on the perimeter were not covered and it sprinkled a bit. They had food, and a good selection of wine and beer, as well as some signature drinks. Prices were reasonable for a classy place. Although there was music, we were still able to have a conversation. Fun time! ”
“ Great rooftop bar with nice aesthetics & a killer happy hour. Service was friendly but did seem a little unorganised but no one seemed to be too fussed over it. ”
“ 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 ”
“ Absolutely Phenomenal Place to go if you want a birds eye view of the town. The Large Couches and fire pits make it very comfy laid back and welcoming when your sat down. The food is also amazing! They only do like small bites but they pack a punch just like their massive selection of drinks but we all know why we go here, its the views and they are many and plentiful. It gets busy but the Rooftop is good sized so you can spread out. ”
