The Best Rooftop Bars in San Diego With Killer Views

San Diego’s known for sunsets, skyline views, and cocktails that hit different when you’re 10 floors up. Whether you’re bar-hopping with friends or planning a golden hour date, these rooftop spots seriously deliver.

🍸 The Nolen

Address: 453 6th Ave, San Diego, CA 92101

Downtown views, classy vibes, and craft cocktails. It’s a little upscale, but not in a way that makes you feel out of place. Great for date night or impressing out-of-towners.

🏙️ ALTITUDE Sky Lounge

Address: 660 K St, San Diego, CA 92101

Literally looks into Petco Park. If there’s a game happening, even better. The views are insane and the energy is always on point.

🌴 Cannonball

Address: 3105 Ocean Front Walk, San Diego, CA 92109

Located right on Mission Beach, this rooftop gives you a Pacific view and sushi that actually slaps. Come at sunset — thank us later.

🍹 Rustic Root

Address: 535 5th Ave, San Diego, CA 92101
Website: rusticrootsd.com

Gaslamp rooftop with a relaxed but lively atmosphere. Great drinks, people-watching, and string lights for the cozy aesthetic. Pro tip: grab brunch here too.

🌇 Catania

Address: 7863 Girard Ave #301, La Jolla, CA 92037
Website: cataniasd.com

A La Jolla gem with Mediterranean dishes and coastal views. This one’s more lowkey — perfect for dinner with a view, minus the loud music.
