Why the Pool House Is the Coolest San Diego Rooftop Bar
SAN DIEGO ROOFTOP BAR
San Diego is a city featuring a variety of world-class bars, restaurants, and nightlife. To stand out among these many stellar entertainment options, an establishment has to be pretty special.
The Pool House, with its unique location, beautifully designed layout, and incredible menu, is just such an establishment. Located right in the center of the Gaslamp Quarter on an inimitable rooftop setting atop The Pendry San Diego, it’s a bar and venue unlike any other. Here, we’ll let you know why it’s no exaggeration to say that this is truly the coolest San Diego rooftop bar.
IT IS LITERALLY A ROOFTOP BAR WITH A A POOL
San Diego has plenty of cool bars and clubs…but how many are located on a rooftop and have a pool? This is truly luxe life at its best. As you kick back poolside and enjoy the incredible view with a cocktail in hand, it’s hard not to feel like a million bucks. Simply spending time in such a setting has the power to delight the senses and give you the sensation of enjoying a getaway from the everyday. Time spent at The Pool House is absolutely transformative!
AMAZING COCKTAILS
Don’t worry: The Pool House doesn’t coast by on its good looks and awesome location. We back it up with an equally incredible roster of cocktails that are just as special as the setting. Our cocktail list is comprehensive, and creative. There’s a strong focus on refreshing drinks that are perfect for poolside lounging, including sections on the menu dedicated to takes on the Moscow Mule, Mojitos, Margaritas, frozen drinks, and Sangria; of course, we also have wine, bubbles, and beer. As you’re sipping on a little something like our Strawberry Daiquiri (made with Bacardi Superior Rum, strawberry, and lime) or our Passion Berry Mojito (made with Cruzan Passion Fruit Rum, raspberry, mint, lime, and soda), you’ll undoubtedly feel tipsy on life!

CREATIVE CUISINE
Amazing drinks are even better when paired with great food. At The Pool House, we don’t consider our food offerings as an afterthought. Our menu is carefully crafted with nourishment and superior flavor in mind. The San Diego food scene tends toward fresh, seasonal food, and The Pool House definitely adheres to this breezy and delicious California cuisine style. You’ll feel light and bright while enjoying items like our Apple and Quinoa Salad
(made with chickpeas, apple, gouda, and roasted pumpkin seeds) or our Lollipop Chicken Wings (served with house-made bleu cheese, and prepared Buffalo style); for heartier appetites or to line your stomach for further cocktail-ing, we also offer classics like the Pool House Burger (served with aged white cheddar, butter lettuce, tomato, and herb aïoli).

The Pool House isn’t just a nighttime destination. We’re open for lunch as well, which means that you can get away during the everyday! Daytime at The Pool House is an easygoing and peaceful time to enjoy some great cuisine and soak up the sun while towering above the Gaslamp Quarter.
