Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in San Diego

"No dish says more about Nine-Ten Restaurant than its Jamaican jerk pork belly appetizer. This centerpiece pays homage to Executive Chef Jason Knibb’s Jamaican heritage, albeit in elevated form, and the pairing with baby carrots, swiss chard, plantains, and black-eyed peas with sweet potato purée gives it a California feel. It’s a variation on a theme repeated throughout the menu: flavor combinations that make sense, offered in surprising and refined ways."

"1270 Prospect St, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA Elegant fine-dining chain with a seafood & steak menu, plus a cocktail lounge featuring live jazz"

"Sure, La Jolla’s beachside location lends itself to upscale dining, cliffside restaurants and seafood-centric menus, but that doesn’t mean it’s not home to great tacos, too. At Puesto, the three Adler brothers pack hand-pressed blue-corn tortillas with crispy melted cheese, garlic-braised seasonal veggies, al pastor, cactus and even lobster and filet mignon. It’s one of the area’s most colorful settings—decorated with neon murals and Mexican tiles—and sports a handful of vibrant and fun margaritas to match."

"The La Jolla outpost of Puesto is a bit smaller than some of the others but packs the same punch in offering quality Mexican food with inventive, modern twists. Lesser-known is that they have recently ramped up their dessert options."

"Sometimes mom and dad want a bloody Mary or mimosa with breakfast. While on vacation, indulge in a greasy, calorie-laden breakfast with a cocktail at MaryJane’s Diner in the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego. Even their omelets seem imbued with some sort of magic potion (cream, I suspect)."

"It’s a dark, nondescript bar in Banker’s Hill that looks like a spot your grandpa would frequent in the middle of the day. What sets this place apart though, are the huge burgers. They have a ton of options, but the California Burgito is our go-to."

"Dank chicken sandwich and the garlic on the fries really slaps!. Definitely laid back but high quality customer service. This is a go-to spot fo..."

"Where: 1220 University Ave, San Diego, CA 92103 Over the years, Gossip Grill has blossomed into a full patio bar and restaurant with a dance floor. The restaurant serves American comfort food, and the lively place is decked out with feminine inspired art, fabulous chandeliers, and a foliage facade outdoor patio bar with fire pits. As the sun sets, Gossip transforms into a dance nightclub for the ladies, but don't worry, the dance floor is open to men and everything in between."

"This handsome coastal Italian boasts an indoor-outdoor cocktail bar and lounge with lovely views over Orange Avenue. Chef Ronnie Schwandt’s pasta-making skills are on show in the dedicated pasta kitchen, where fresh pastas and bread are housemade daily, while shellfish, oysters, and other ocean treasures that feature in the restaurant’s crudo plates and seafood platters are showcased on the 8-foot raw bar. The bottomless Sunday brunch serves up everything from Maine Lobster Mafaldine to Italian donuts."

"Bay ParkBirria aficionado and San Diego business owner Mike Touma, who spent more than a year working with local chefs to create his flavorful birria and savory consommé, has opened Mike’s Red Tacos, a food truck that he parks on Morena Boulevard, near the now-defunct Old Trieste restaurant, every Friday from 4 pm until the food runs out. The signature red tacos get their color from a dip in chili oil and a quick turn on the flat top, which crisps up the locally sourced fresh tortillas. Besides tacos, Mike serves up birria mulitas, birria ramen, and the Crunchstack, a riff on Taco Bell’s Crunchwrap Supreme; layers of griddled cheese, birria-loaded tostadas, cilantro and onions, all wrapped inside a warm flour tortilla, which then gets the chili oil dip and glaze to seal in all its juicy goodness."

"I use to like this buffet but it has gone downhill recently. There is another choice in Pacific Beach that is way better."

"This popular restaurant in the Gaslamp District is one of the best spots in San Diego for a romantic lunch or dinner.
