Stylish bar on a hotel rooftop with skyline views, lounge seating & a communal fire pit.
The Nolen is a hidden treasure- best happy hour. We sat the bar and our bartender was hysterical! The cocktails and wine were great, truffle fries and spicy meatballs super yummy. You can see over into Petco Park which was neat to hear them cheer then see the play on TV. Cool vibe, cheap happy hour - don't miss it CHEERS
Great spot with an excellent view of San Diego—perfect place to bring visiting friends. The happy hour pricing is decent, though a few items felt a bit overpriced. The meatballs were $18 for just two pieces, which seemed steep. Flatbread was okay, but the truffle fries were definitely the highlight. Also had an Old Fashioned for $7, which was a nice deal.
I had the most NASTIEST service I’ve ever experienced in my entire life. We landed today this afternoon and were recommended to come here because they had an amazing rooftop view, upon arrival the person in the picture along with two other servers decided to be completely rude, treating us very poorly, and making us feel unwelcome. Right off the bat we did not feel comfortable we which we decided to exclude ourselves from being here. We were here probably under 10 minutes, and she decided to just be harassing us back to back as in making us feel unwelcome. That person in the image was literally beyond the worst and disrespectful server I’ve came across. Upon leaving, we mentioned to her “thank you but we are going to leave a review based on our shitty experience” from which she literally laughed in front of our face as we were walking out. I did not get her name and even if I asked she was going to give me a fake name. I decided to take a picture of her and when doing so she was smiling at my camera like this was an entire joke to her. On our way down, we spoke to another employee which we explained the situation and as to why we left, and he agreed with that same person being completely disrespectful. It’s unbelievable how he literally apologize on behalf of her nasty behavior. From manager to manager, I hope this gives you a great overview of who exactly you need to talk to within your team.
We stumbled upon this rooftop bar when I googled "rooftop bar" in Google maps. It's inside the Marriott hotel and doesn't look like much from the street. You have to take the elevator from the small hotel lobby up to the roof. The view is really great and it was nice and breezy up there. We were just having drinks. They had a small selection of wines to choose from. It was a nice place to just relax and take in the view with friends. We went on a late Sunday afternoon and it was quiet there.
Great rooftop bar with nice aesthetics & a killer happy hour. Service was friendly but did seem a little unorganised but no one seemed to be too fussed over it.
