$15.50 for cocktails , but they are incredible. Add the scenery and the history and it is a must-visit in San Diego.

Brooklynn Wendt

Very nice bar with great staff . The strawberry daiquiris are to die for!!! Great view of the beach too.

Dennis Gilligan

Baked Goat cheese in iron skillet . Do yourself a favor & just get it. Ridiculous w/ Tomato & Basil Pesto , Roasted Garlic Cloves , Olives & Ciabatta Bread . Losing at life if you don't get this.

Moo Ju

Great spot to grab a coffee & sit and enjoy the view .

$36 for 2 pints and a bloody marry... Be prepared to drop some coin. Great view of the sunset though!

Russ Thyret

A chilled Classic Martini and a shrimp cocktail at sunset starts the evening off just right!

Happy Hour 4-7 Sunday to Thursday 4-7. Food and drink specials . Big savings on drinks!

Full service at the Round tables outside & you need to go to the bar if seated at a Square table

Crab and white cheddar fondue amazing but ask for crostini or flatbread with it vs the bread that comes with

They have Direct TV , so no Pac-12 Network for now :-( but lots of TVs so otherwise a great place to watch football .

The Bloody Mary's are delicious. Worth it.
