Top of the Hyatt

08/11/24 ~ 7PMWe parked nearby in a parking lot between the Hyatt and Seaport Village. Walked in, and went to the elevator area. When taking the elevator, you would need to enter into a screen via restaurants for Floor 40 - Top of the Hyatt. There are no buttons for floors besides opening and closing inside the elevators.The views are great to check out during sunset/evening. They have a menu for drinks and snacks. Lounge was dimly lit, but looked great for a date night. If you're looking for a place to talk with some friends and enjoy some conversation, this is the place (though it is a tad pricey!). They have 2 that they can make virgin - Imperial Beach and Balboa Park. I got the virgin Imperial Beach. Liang got Banker's Hill which was similar to an old-fashioned that he normally orders. I forgot what my girlfriend R ordered.Pricing for cocktail is around ~$26-$27. So price have definitely risen from older reviews (2016 - 2017). Our total for 3 people came out to ~$84 with tip; we each ordered a cocktail. Service was fast in the beginning, after you sit down. The waiter came back and checked on us at least 4-5 times to see if wanted anything else. Towards the end, we went up to the bar to pay. We ended up staying there for around 2-3 hours to chat. Bathrooms were in a hallway between the elevators and the entrance to the Top of the Hyatt. Our parking ended up being around $16 when we left. We may come back if we're ever seeking another view of the the Coronado Bridge or a view of the sunset.We didn't do any reservations and just did walk in. It is first come first serve. We mainly came here for the view.

views, drinks, views .. you must check this place out it you seek unique views of the city skyline .. So picturesque and the themed menu is great. Prices are for sure "top" here too and they offer small plates on menu... just wish they had more food options but understand the concept. This location has huge potential if it ever does full dinner service, maybe soon .. be sure to experience the views here at least once .. perfect for a date or nightcap cocktail after a great dinner nearby ..

Ordered:Imperial Beach cocktail (~$24): Mijenta tequila blanco, aperol, pineapple juice, lime juice, passionfruit purée, and simply syrupCrispy Sicilian Beef Arancini (~$21): with house-made tomato sauce, mozzarella, and parmesanAya's take:It was our last night in SD and we decided to check out the views at the Top of the Hyatt. It was around 9:30pm on a Monday - not busy at all. Despite this, service was unbelievably slow and even the one appetizer we ordered took way too long. By the time we received it, it was cold, the arancini wasn't crispy (yet it's in the name on the menu), and it lacked flavor entirely. The cocktail was pleasant but less enjoyable with all the waiting we had to do beforehand and even after requesting the check. I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to check it out.

The BF took me here to celebrate my birthday and it was such a nice end to the night! I definitely recommend coming here around sunset to take in the views. It is first come first serve so a window seat is definitely trickier to get. Drinks are pricey at around $23 per cocktail but they tasted good! They also serve small bites like Ahi Poke, meat and cheese board, etc. So definitely eat before coming. We got 3 drinks, the Ahi Poke and Churros. All tasted good!

Great service, view and drinks. We loved visiting here and very convent as it was at our hotel. We enjoyed this place as it was a great view and place to end a day.

Ambiance : Went to see the Christmas holiday decor 2023. We LOVED it. Can't take enough pictures ! The was so festive . Service : Our server was from Ireland ( terribly sorry, I forgot his name). Very helpful, fun, attentive, provided and accommodating. Drinks he recommended were good and of course , in Xmas mugs. Food servings maybe shared between 1-2 p. Tasty and filling. Place was packed, we just walked-in and lucky with the timing . We were able to find seats right away. Wishing we got a table by the window to see the city lights .Parking : hotel parking avail, street parking , metered parking . We took Uber / Lyft .

Cute bar on the 40th floor. The theme is like an indoor garden with cute little props all around. Drinks were great, Average bar prices. Service was great. We only came in for a few drinks so we did not try the food. The views are amazing Day and Night. They have tables and couches to hang out. It's super cute!

Friendly staff and a plethora of well drinks, combined with the views from atop the Hyatt, makes this place extrememly memorable and unique.From each window you can see San Diego from and what the City has to offer.Plenty of seating and phot ops with quotes on most windows that will have you smiling as you read them. Well worth a visit and a walk around the bar to take all Top of the Hyatt has to offer.Thank you, Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego!

Beautiful bar, with great service!We had a glass of wine, and a tequila... quick stop in after hanging out in Seaport and the Headquarters at Seaport. I could have stayed for days with that view. So very peaceful and relaxing.The house chardonnay was delicious!

My hub and I stayed at the Hyatt for our anniversary this year. Upon checking in they let us know our resort fee included $10 (I think) voucher off at the top of Hyatt bar per night so we decided to check it out one night. We came before dinner around 6-7 pm and the place was super busy. We ended up sitting at the bar since all the window spots were taken. The view was pretty, nice cityscape and looking out into the ocean. The drink was good but my only complaint would be the prices. I just didn't think the drinks were unique enough to match the price tag. I can get an espresso martini anywhere. It's definitely a tourist attraction, take that as you will. Great for photos and maybe 1 drink.
