The San Diego skyline comes alive when the sun sets. While you can experience the breathtaking sight from InterContinental San Diego, there are also several ways to take in the views while exploring this California city. Go high above the San Diego streets by visiting one of the rooftop bars found in the popular Gaslamp Quarter to enjoy stunning views and incredible drinks.

The 3 Best Bars & Restaurants for Skyline Views

The Gaslamp Quarter is a hub for dining and nightlife, including incredible rooftop bars. On your next visit to our San Diego hotel, stay out late and check out some of the spots listed below for a night you’ll remember for years to come.

1. Rustic Root is a go-to spot all hours of the day. Enjoy a decadent brunch while soaking in the San Diego sunshine, or come back late at night to see the Gaslamp Quater in all its neon glow. In addition to timeless cocktails, they also offer craft cocktail shows and seasonal specialties.
2. Lumi by Akira Back is known as an upscale rooftop experience. Featuring the creations of a world-renowned chef, this spot plates up innovative Japanese far and sushi that pair perfectly with one of their handcrafted drinks.
3. For the ultimate rooftop experience, head to The Poolhouse. This premier rooftop lounge is found high above Gaslamp’s Fifth Avenue and offers daytime and evening events. Order one of the specialty cocktails or get a pitcher to share with the whole group.

While not in the Gaslamp Quarter, Garibaldi is the perfect option for guests looking to enjoy a nightcap with panoramic views. The on-site al fresco Italian rooftop restaurant and bar is known for Italian-inspired cocktails that everyone will love.
