It's TIME TO find THOSE Great cocktails with a view
Cannonball – Cocktails With a View in San Diego Over Mission Beach
You’ll want to go to Cannonball for two reasons, actually three. Incredible sushi, a location right over Mission Beach, and some of the best cocktails with a view in San Diego. Just spend five minutes on their patio, and you’ll feel like you are on vacation.
Cutwater Tasting Room – Cocktails With a View in San Diego
A real local would never make a top cocktails list without including Cutwater Tasting Room. Leaving it out means you haven’t done your research. This spot serves some of the best cocktails with a view in San Diego (the talented bar staff). It’s hard to choose between sitting at the bar and enjoying the outdoor seating area.
AVANT RESTAURANT
Avant stirs cocktails with style. This high-end restaurant sits inside the Rancho Bernardo Inn. The resort’s stunning view and lush greenery make it a top spot for cocktails with a view in San Diego. But watching them make the Smokin’ Diamonds and French Island cocktails is entertainment on its own.
CODY's LA JOLLA
The Holding COMPANY
I almost didn’t put The Holding Company on my list. If it gets any more popular, I may never get a table again. From the rooftop, you can enjoy cocktails with a view in San Diego. Like the La La Land cocktail with rum and fresh guava juice. Or go big and order a Tower (plus an Uber).
The Marine Room
No San Diego restaurant beats The Marine Room‘s view of La Jolla Shores. During high tide, waves batter the dining room windows, a sight featured in countless videos. It is one of the most iconic places for cocktails with a view in San Diego.
Tom Ham's Lighthouse
Tom Ham’s Lighthouse serves some of the best seafood in San Diego. The deck offers a 270-degree ocean view, making it a prime spot for cocktails with a view in San Diego. Their signature cocktail is the World Famous Bali Hai Mai Tai. It’s so strong they limit it to two per person. This would absolutely be the definition of cocktails with a view in San Diego.
Dockside 1953
Dockside 1953 is a new restaurant at the Bahia Resort Hotel. Its outdoor patio offers one of the best spots for cocktails with a view in San Diego. The views of the bay, Bahia Belle boat, and sunsets can easily distract you from your cocktails and meal.
