Altitude Sky Lounge in downtown San Diego has an absolutely beautiful rooftop view. From the top, you can enjoy views of both the waterfront side and the downtown skyline, and honestly the scenery alone makes it worth visiting. To get inside, you have to go through the hotel entrance and then take the elevator to the top floor. There was no issue going up or down, and everything moved rather quickly considering we visited on a Friday night. Up top it was a little crowded near the edges where everyone was taking photos, but people moved around pretty quickly so it was still easy to get some really good pictures from the rooftop. I didn't order any drinks, so this review is based solely on the location and the views, but once you're up there it's just absolutely beautiful. We stayed for about 20 minutes, enjoyed the views, took in the atmosphere, and then headed out. Definitely worth checking out if you're in San Diego. read more

Wrapped up our night Altitude Sky Lounge San Diego. First time visiting. Wow.... We live in such a beautiful city. Just look at that skyline. Chill vibes & music was at a descent volume. What we ordered: * White Russian * Lemon Drop I preferred the hubby's white russian vs my lemon drop. My drink was OK... This was a a beautiful way to end our night. It started raining on us so the hubby said we should leave. I wanted to stay longer though cause I was VIBING. #DiningWithTheAndersons #TryingNewPlaces #SanDiegoLiving #DowntownAdventures #AdultShenanigans read more

Excellent view of Padres games so we started a pre fight there for happy hour before going into the Playoffs. Great food, I will say the prices on the menu aren't what you pay after a hefty service fee. You're better off eating downstairs. Drinks were great and service was too. I've been here many times but don't think I rated it. Will be back for baseball season read more

No food for me- after hours. Service was walk up to the bar. Able to open a tab and the bar tender person super kind and friendly. Ambience- I liked that the music was at conversant level so we can get to know the locals and non locals hanging around on hump day Wednesday. Convention folks roaming around and always up for a flirt. read more

This is a four star review only for the views. The drinks are just okay and a little over priced because they are in plastic glass. You have to go up to the bar to order. The service was friendly but super slow. The view is pretty cool though but other than that nothing special. read more

I'm reading back on my previous review and not sure WHY I didn't give this place five stars, so time for an update! This is always our evening stop when we're in San Diego. They have fire pits and views of PETCO Park, the convention center, and Coronado Bay. Still a good time and glad to see this place is still around. read more

I've been here multiple times before heading out for a night on the town, but this was my first time visiting during the daytime. It was nice to switch things up and catch a sunset from the rooftop. The drinks are always solid and this spot has become a staple first stop before hitting Gaslamp. read more

My cousin stayed at the Marriott hotel on Friday, Oct 9th ... We all went up to Altitude & it had great views & music but unfortunately the waitress was not welcoming at all.. staffs pretty much stood around and spent more time talking to one another.. it was my 1st time here so I didn't know how ordering food worked ... I asked her her & she was so irritated that she had to come & explained to me. Place was too beautiful to have bad customer services... vibe was not good ... read more

The views are exceptional from the 22nd floor! You can see Petco Park, the ocean and sunset if you're there at the right time. The drinks were great and the service was fast and friendly. read more

From a local waitress recommendation, as San Diego visitors, we had to check out ALTITUDE Sky Lounge. (The waitress was phenomenal so we knew she knew what she was talking about) She was RIGHT ON. This is the place to be to get the true San Diego vibe with wonderful skyline views of San Diego and the ocean. It was an early Monday evening so it wasn't too crowded. We had barstool views and next to a heater so very comfortable and very pleasing. Our bartender Noah was SOOOOO NICE! Per the recommendation we tried the Raspberry Mojito and it was SOOOOO tasty. Just the right combination of mix with raspberry. Noah also gave us a few tips of places to go and eat around San Diego. We absolutely love San Diego and the Altitude Sky Lounge is a big reason why! read more

Came here for a quick drink and it was easily walkable from our own hotel. Once in the hotel theres signage to go to the top floor for this rooftop bar. We came on a Wednesday night so it wasn't very busy but seems to be a common place for folks at conferences to go to given it's vicinity to the hotels and convention center. The rooftop is quite large with 2 sides and with some lounge seating closest to the bar and then standing and some bar stool seating along the rails to take in the views. There's not a huge amount of decor so it feels like a no frills spot. The drinks were good! We got vodka cranberries and they have a white cranberry juice which I had never seen before. Bouncers, bartenders, and servers were all friendly. Would reccommend! read more

After dinner, I decided to stop by Altitude Sky Lounge for a late night drink and some dance music and it did not disappoint! It's located in the heart of the Gaslamp District on the 22nd floor of the Marriott hotel. It's an outdoor bar/lounge with a small dance floor surrounded by small tables and bar seats all along the edges of the lounge overlooking downtown. It's very close to convention center and Petco Park so you get nice views of both. The lounge serves both food and drinks. The bouncers are all friendly and professional. The bathrooms were clean. The servers were friendly and checked in periodically to see we if needed anything. Shout out to the DJ who was playing some good 90s and early 2000 hip hop music. Parking is always a challenge in downtown but there is an ACE parking lot right next to the hotel. It was $16 for the night. I would definitely return again for a fun night out! read more

Altitude has been on the SD bucketlist for awhile, and finally made it out! Great rooftop views (esp at sunset), and you can watch a Padres game from up there!! They give off elevated dive bar / sports bar vibes. It's a great time! Drinks are not bad - as expected, and they serve bites! Flatbread pizza and pretzels were pretty dece. But they're served from the Marriott hotel room service, which included a 20% service fee, not including tip. If friends are visiting from out of town, I'd take them here! read more

First time here and walked in no reservations on a Saturday night, it was really crowded but still had lots of room to chill. The staff were great, the crowd was cool and nice looking bar. But the highlight of the night was the views, amazing! We ordered a few drinks but forgot what it was and didn't take any pics, fail. We were already hammered by then. Highly recommend this spot and would visit again. read more

I finally tried this spot out after we stayed over night in downtown. The view itself is worth the trip. The cocktails were pretty good and albeit they had a small menu of food items, the food was also decent (I had a burger). They have a setup for food delivery to you as long as you have the pager (security gave it to me). You can figure out payment for it once delivered. Expect to drop some bills here if you are doing food and drinks. read more

I'm a fan girl of rooftop bars and altitude did not disappoint! Love the downtown harbor views of San Diego and of Petco park! Drinks were fairly priced, especially for being downtown/gas lamp. We didn't get any food, but I did order the strawberry mojito and it tasted so fresh! read more

Stopped by for some drinks with my girlfriends the other night after having dinner in DT. The last time I was here was probably a decade ago. Altitude Sky Lounge is located inside the Marriott hotel. Upon entering the hotel, the elevator line was intimidatingly long, but moved pretty quick. Awesome views from the rooftop. The drinks were alright. The food was terrible. Pretzel Sticks: salty asf. Even after wiping off the salt, the pretzel was still salty asf. Think I got high blood pressure now... Fried Calamari: cold. It tasted like leftover calamari that had been sitting out at room temperature. Not crispy nor fresh whatsoever. brussel sprouts: edible. I know one shouldn't expect to enjoy good food when visiting a rooftop bar, but yikes, the food was terrible. Come here only for drinks and views. Volume could be louder. read more

We arrived about a half hour before sunset and took a seat along the side of the rooftop. Taylor was our waitress and she was delightful! Amazing views of both the bay and the game. Huge firepit behind us. Bar was lit nicely when it was dark. They had tv's so you could watch the game. Fun drink choices to choose from. Leaving, the bouncers were friendly and wished us well. read more

I have been going to Altitude Sky Lounge for years, however, I only get there periodically. I was there recently with a friend who was visiting from out of town. I decided to update my review since it was written in 2008. We arrived around 10PM on a Friday night. I would say that it was moderately crowded. From past experience, it is much more crowded during baseball games or events at Petco Park. I think it is fun to take friends from out of town there for the views... especially baseball fans as you can see the whole ballpark very clearly. Anyway, we bought a couple of drinks and then grabbed some seats near the side overlooking the view. There are some tables and an area with a fire pit, but I prefer to go for the view rather than sitting in the other areas. Our margaritas were about $12 each, which was reasonable for the location. Music was more old school hip hop that night. I'm not sure if that is typical. There is no dance floor or anything else too exciting going on. I think it is a great place to stop for a drink or two, but not necessarily a destination for an entire evening. I imagine I will continue to stop by periodically and bring out of town guests with me. read more

We were looking for a place to hangout after dining at Lawry's, and remembered that the SLS Beverly Hills is a convenient 2 min walk down the street. I've only been to the afternoon tea sessions in the lobby and was pleasantly surprised by the rooftop lounge on the 6th floor of the property. The elevator takes room keys but the attendant can escort you to the lounge with no issues. It's a bit of a maze once you get out of the elevators as there are no signs directing you the lounge. The lounge itself is very nice - a bit cold as it's a rooftop but plenty of heat lamps and fireplaces to keep you nice and warm. We were seated at a sofa area with fireplace in the center and got a nice view of the entire bar area. I got the Cheeky Monkey with mezcal and Very Berry with tequila and my friends got some other drinks with one of them being a non-alcoholic drink - The drinks are a bit on the sweeter side imo, but very flavorful and fun. It's a bit pricey (averaging $22 per drink) but I guess that's standard for Beverly Hills. read more

I've been coming here for well over a decade and cannot believe that I've yet to review it. It's one of those places that puts you in a daze and you kind of forget that you were ever there, but in the best possible way. Sure, this is typically a place to pregame before the Padres, or to celebrate a big ol' Friar win, but why shouldn't it be in the rotation more often? It absolutely should and recently it certainly was when we came on a weekend to celebrate a birthday with a roped off area. It feels like a club, but it isn't. It feels like a dive, but it isn't. It's hard to explain, but above all else, it's simply comfortable with decent downtown prices, but what makes it really comfortable is the staff. Seriously, the bartender Noah has been at Altitude for a long time but somehow is immune to the jaded downtown "I've been here forever" cocky attitude. He's a pleasant as he has been on day one and is friendly to even the most annoying of customers, and believe me, they're everywhere. He's just... cool. Altitude has done it right. You come here for the view but you end up returning for so many other things. Longevity is tough in downtown SD and if you've been here as long as Altitude has you've got to assume they're doing a lot of things right. read more

I was on an evening walk and decided to check out Latitude AND Altitude Sky Lounge. While tonight was quiet and slow for the bartender and i only ordered a glass of wine. Manish, was wonderful and knowledgeable about cocktails and spirits. He actually creates the cocktail menu here and you can tell he perfects everything. I was told his espresso martini is to die for an only available on the weekends!! Great mixologist don't cut corners and use cold brew in their espresso martinis. Manish YOU are great! I can't wait to comeback and try one of his cocktails. Thank you so much for your hospitality. Eddie the other bartender convinced me to check out the rooftop bar Altitude upstairs and i will be coming back here with friends! Amazing views! It was a chilly night but still warm and cozy with the heaters. Hidden gem in downtown! I could imagine it gets rowdy when sports or conventions are going on. Thank you Manish and Eddie! read more

Top of the roof with an amazing view of the city embellish by bright lights within the night. Even though it was minimal, the stars were still there shining above us. Take a shot if you love yourself. We ordered two drinks: a sex on the beach & a margarita. Nothing special but it was enough to set the mood. There was heaters and a fire pit. You could also see the Petco stadium too which is neat. read more

ALTITUDE Sky Lounge is such a great spot! The atmosphere is *amazing*--you get a really nice, elevated vibe with stunning views overlooking Petco Park. It's the perfect place to kick back and enjoy a drink while soaking in the city views. The best part? The drinks are super cheap for the quality and location! It's hard to beat great prices like that, especially in a place with such a clean and stylish bar atmosphere. You feel like you're in an upscale spot without the hefty price tag. Whether you're catching a game or just want a chill place to hang out with friends, this lounge is definitely worth checking out. You won't be disappointed! read more

The best part is the breathtaking view of the city, but as a rooftop bar it is pretty old and outdated. The staff escorts you by groups into the elevators and to the floor of the lounge. Once you're in, you can see a great view of Petco Park and downtown. It was buzzing at night and also rained the evening I went but it made for great pictures! Crowds came from the Padres game so the timing of when we came and left was perfect. There wasn't much room to lounge since all the patio furniture that was uncovered got soaked from the rain. There is a small balcony where the view of the city is phenomenal at night. It was a short stop to get a drink in but I'm glad to have checked off the Altitude Sky Lounge on my list of rooftop bars in San Diego as a local! read more
