The Nolen

Writing this review after multiple visits and each time have had a pleasant experience. This is an excellent spot for a rooftop bar with all the views, from the water to Petco Park and is also a great pre-game stop before a game. I also appreciate the fire pit and fireplaces because it can get cold up there. Service has been decent and noticed there were a lot of waitresses working this particular day. Food & Drink: It is on the pricier side especially since you're in downtown but they do have happy hour 7 days a week (M-F 4-6pm and Sat-Sun 3-6pm) which is nice. All drinks I've had here were good as well as the food and is in-line with most other downtown establishments. Lastly, this is a great place to take visitors.

Good environment for taking in the rooftop views of Pet Co park, Coronado bridge, and downtown San Diego. The chilequiles and the drinks were delicious. The music they had playing at the time (3/16 12pm) was on point. The bartender was awesome and friendly. I've recommended this place to many.

One of my favorite rooftop bars in San Diego! Nothing beats the view and their drinks and food are really good! We came for the sunset and were seated right away. Their truffle fries were fun to snack on while we sipped on our drinks.

The Nolen was such a fun experience! We were here from out if town and wanted to go to a rooftop bar and The Nolen did not disappoint! It was easy to make online reservations. You walk in from the street and take the elevator up to The Nolen. Staff were friendly and welcoming! Service was excellent! We didn't eat, but had several of the cocktails and all were excellent! It was a fun vibe with music, excellent weather and a great view!

A very nice place to have drinks and food. It has a beautiful view of the city. We went when the sun was still out, and I'd love to come back when it's dark. The service is quick. There is a 90 minute time frame for you to be at your table. I recommend making reservations.

Interesting entrance. It's a small door that leads to a one elevator room seemingly connected to a hotel and then you go on an elevator. The rooftop bar has a nice entrance, however it's a little more spread out and casual than cosier despite the appearance. The rooftop view doesnt feel super tall and looks prettier away from the edge where you cant see the streets or you aren't guaranteed a seat by the edge. It shows a view of the stadium. I got a blueberry cider and it was decent, but I wouldn't say this bar gave the classy rooftop vibes I was seeking for and is more casual due to the noise level (but not much cross mingling).

This was our first stop for my daughter's 21st birthday celebration. It did not disappoint!!! The bartender's here were so sweet, super attentive and quick. The place got packed after the Padres game ended, but they were able to move people quickly. The drinks weren't the best I've had, but the view, ambience and service made up for that.

Parking: nearby close 5 dollar parking public about 2 blocks awayAtmosphere chill and chickWe had birthday and it was great for a girl night outSeevice was excellentFood limited optionsbut on point mainly for drinks and finger foodNo desert on menu but we got chocolate cake for the birthday

This place is really nice. So happy to have rooftop bars. They have fire pits and heaters to keep you warm at night. The cocktails are good. Nice place to gather with your friends.

Came here on a Saturday night at 5:30. No wait and drinks came SUPER quick. There is a "happy hour" until 6 pm and the waitresses were soooooo nice and quick. We got two rounds in and drinks came out in less then 5 minutes. A great spot to kick the night off. Roof top bar?? How can you say no!
