Rooftop Bars in San Diego

After an afternoon of whale watching & cruising the Pacific Ocean aboard a 350-horsepower private speedboat or a luxury sailing yacht, we thought that some of our guests might want to enjoy some more fresh, open air, along with some afternoon or evening libations. When it comes to America’s Finest City’s rooftop bars, Sail San Diego‘s got you covered!

We’ve only listed those rooftop bars with a valid phone number and functioning website at the time of this post. Those with a 4.5+ Yelp rating at the time of this post (of which there is only one… c’mon guys, step your game up) and one of our manager Chaluim’s favorites are indicated IN RED.
