We were staying at the shore house for the weekend and we explored all the restaurants in the main hotel Dell Coronado area. We came upon this place and the atmosphere was super fun! It’s got an old-fashioned vibe and it’s open to the outside, but you can also sit at the bar and inside. The drinks were fantastic, the service was great, and the food was delicious. However … When they are serving a $26 Old fashioned, and their burgers are as expensive as they are, they darn well better be delicious. Lol be prepared to pay a lot for this historic hotels atmosphere!

Beautiful place to enjoy food or drinks. The service is horribly slow and very inattentive, and truth be told the food is just okay for the price. But what a view!

Had a fun experience thanks to Daniels friendly/inventive personality along with Dwayne’s exceptional branding we created a new drink the Del Sunset! Malibu, Orange, Pomegranate & hint of lime. An experience I won’t forget ❤️

Lovely place in the historic Coranado Hotel. The sliders were great and so was the Baileys coffee. The mahogany vintage bar and bar top were classic.

Nice classic place. The last time I came (around 2015) I don’t think they had tvs, I would’ve kept it that way. They take away from the classic feel. The drinks are expensive but it’s what you expect to pay at Hotel Del Coronado. I ordered an old fashioned to go, it was good. Good customer service as well.

I love the classic feel of this bar, and what a perfect location: almost right on the beach. Great history, too. The drinks are spendy and small, so be prepared for that. I got the blood sage smash, which was refreshing and perfect. My parents got Moscow mules, and they were terrible – the ginger beer tasted flat. I didn’t know you could have a terrible Moscow mule. It was tough to get service at first, but our server was very nice once we got going.

Checked in with a waiter, was told to seat ourselves. No one ever came over, after 20 min, my husband had to order to-go from the bar in order to get served. Meanwhile I was waiting at the table with our toddler and no one ever came over to us the entire 45 min we were waiting for fries and a crab dip to be ready… I watched a bunch of other people sit down and leave because there was no service. The one star is for the crab dip, which was yummy.
