If You Want The Waterfront<\/span>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Bali Hai <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ah, one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego. The menu has a proud Polynesian flair along with salads and sandwiches. The drink menu is several pages of different tropical drinks to choose from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My waiter recommended his favorite drink, the Pele’s Relief. It was every bit of fruity and refreshing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The Pele’s Relief Cocktail at Bali Hai<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Despite wanting everything on the menu, I opted for a caesar salad. With the sun overhead, it seemed like a refreshing choice. My waiter was right again when he suggested adding grilled shrimp skewers. I could have had ten more of these salads. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sally’s was my favorite restaurant on the embarcadero. The patio was warm but the umbrellas helped shade off. The bar inside was comfortable seating and did not have a wait. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A

Edgewater Grill<\/em><\/strong> is located in Seaport Village along the water. The windows look outside to the blue waters. The patio sits directly along the waterfront as people pass by. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were in town for a conference. With this in mind, we were very understanding of the lunch rush and the wait times. When we sat in the bar, the bartender was running around like crazy and still took care of us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Altitude Sky Lounge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"A
A view of Petco Park from Altitude Sky Lounge<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After leaving Petco Park, we were debating where to go next. Randomly, a friend looked up and we saw a busy rooftop bar. We walked the block or so to the San Diego Marriott Gaslamp Quarter<\/span><\/a>. After a quick elevator ride, we walked outside to the San Diego night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The firepits and lounge seating at Altitude Sky Lounge<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The rooftop has a full bar along with staff walking around to take drink orders. There are fire pits with seating all around. We opted for a view of the baseball stadium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Moonshine Flatts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The
The stage at Moonshine Flats<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you are in town for a weekend or just looking to get out on the town, Moonshine Flats<\/em><\/strong> is always an option for a good time. There might be a county performer when you go. There was a county singer on stage when we first arrived. He played a few songs then would take a break. The place would erupt in pop songs (think Party in the USA) and the crowd went wild. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The crowd at Moonshine Flats<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Even if you are not a country fan, you will still find a way to have fun. We went to Moonshine Flats<\/em><\/strong> on a Saturday night that turned into Sunday morning. We hung out by the bar and had an easy time getting service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An

Even though their main selling point is whiskey, I opted for a vodka cranberry. There is a small patio out front. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The

Located poolside at Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina is the Tequila Bar and Grille<\/em><\/strong>. Tables and umbrellas provide a place to lounge in between meetings or just for a drink. There are built-in fireplaces to lounge with your drinks. Twinkle lights hang overhead. I opted for a pi\u00f1a colada because it was a warm day. The refreshing icy drink paired well with the setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
