An open-air poolside bar at the Hyatt. Your drink will be served in a plastic cup. You'll pay a lot for it. It won't be that good. But I've definitely had worse Mai Tais served in plastic cups (true story). We only came here because the opening hours for the actual restaurant on property were not correct on the website or the info in the room, so we needed to kill some time before we could get a proper drink. Available alcohol at this "resort" is something you don't turn down. And if you're stuck here for some reason (work thing, misled by the name "Hyatt Resort"), you can stop in for a quick drink before you try out the restaurant/bar or decide you'd do better to get yourself elsewhere for good food and an actual Happy Hour that is, in fact, happy. Note that there is a waterslide nearby. That should give you all the visuals you need about how many kids are nearby. This is desperation drinking. And if you're in need, this will scratch the itch. They also deliver to your seat if you put up a flag. It's not "Stay Classy San Diego"... but it'll get you to a happier place. read more

SWIM Lounge - the outside of a restaurant with tables and umbrellas - Lounges Near Me - San Diego, California

This is a little pool/restaurant at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay. Son and I arrived and the room wasn't ready and we headed here to grab some food. Drink: Sauvignon Blanc. Server brought it quickly. Food: Caesar salad w/grilled chicken. It was standard except they added some crispy prosciutto, but the chicken didn't seem cooked all the way. Son ordered the St Louis Ribs and said he didn't like them at all. Husband arrived and ordered a Moscow Mule. Upon check-in at hotel we got a coupon for free chips & salsa. We ordered them, and chips were good, but salsa was thick like a spaghetti sauce; weird. Why 3 stars? Service was very good. Our server was fast and when she noticed that husband had been sitting too long without his drink she removed the charge from the tab. Awesome. Plus, they gave me generous pours of my wine. They need to work on their menu to improve. FYI, they are the only bar at hotel open late. We returned around 11:30pm. They have a ping pong table & Foosball table outside with seating. Hubby and I had an intense Foosball game (I won!) and several Moscow Mules (tried their cucumber one, meh) and their regular one seemed a tad too sweet for me. But at night, great atmosphere to sit outside (they closed around 12:30). read more

This place is attached to the Hyatt Regency and onsite, next to the pool. It's a minimalist lounge. Not much in the way of beer selection, and beers were way overpriced at $7.50 for a cup. We did not try the food so I can't comment. I think this place is really a last choice option. There is so much more in the Mission district, or even just go outside and walk 500 feet to marina where there are bars and restaurants. read more

SWIM Lounge - The aquarium inside - Lounges Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

This small Lounge is located at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Spa & Marina. Seems though that you may need to be a guest of this hotel, as I had to use my room key card to get through some gates at the pool area. The bar counter sits about ten people and the lounge area has seven tables and six chairs that surrounds the circular 800 gallon aquarium. There is a flat screen TV, but it wasn't on this evening. This lounge is next to the multiple swimming pools and outdoor fireplace, hence the name of 'SWIM'. The floor to ceiling windows and doors invites you to gaze out to the bay, marina and sunsets. Their menu is a Pan-Latino cuisine with a Cuban flair to the traditional bar staples. Today, I had their Cuban sandwich (pulled pork, sliced ham, swiss cheese) which comes with mojo dipping sauce and some plantain chips. I had also tried the Angus burger with comes with fries and a mustard herd dip. Both were good, but I preferred the Cuban sandwich. So, if you're a guest at the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay, stop by for a cocktail, Well Drink, glass of wine or a beer. If you want, take your drink outdoors to enjoy the fire pit with friends and family while watching the sunset. read more

Nice, kind of upscale, but still casual little pool bar/lounge. You can eat/drink inside or out at the pool. Have been here a few times, and best is the tropical atmosphere, view over the Harbor on one side and pool on the other, and fire pit in back. You can even purchase a S'mores "kit" w/ sticks, marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate. You pay for the convenience ($16), but it's easily enough for 4, so not bad. Not a huge menu, but they have a few apps, salads, sandwiches, burgers, plates of 3 tacos (the grilled fish were pretty good), all about $10-15, and 4 kids' meals for $5-7. They also have some nice wines, beer and cocktails. read more

All I can say is "eww"! My friend and I were looking for some where to have a happy hour cocktail. The "bar" was packed with kids. This bartender was cutting limes without gloves!!! right in front of us, but would stop and run a credit card or make a drink and then come back to cutting limes! Never washing her hands or putting a glove on! The other bartender was running around with 1 glove on, but continued to make drinks and run payments, but never changed her glove. read more

For a pool side bar it does ok. The service can be iffy if you are out in the pool area. Depends on who is working. The food is good. In particular the popper shrimp and the special fries are very good One nice touch is the fire pit. You can request it be turned on and then buy $15 a s'mores kit. Good for about 8 s'mores. read more

This is one of those places you stop for convenience not for the food. We arrived to hotel early and needed to wait for our room to be ready so we stopped here We ordered fries, chips and salsa and a frozen drink. the salsa, it was watery and flavorless. Did not come back here during the remaining of our trip. read more

Staying at the Hyatt regency in San Diego for 1 night. We arrived late and squeezed in a dinner room service at 945 and they close at 10..very grateful. The order arrived quickly and an extra item that wasn't ordered was in paper bag and on bill. I call and since they were closed I got the answering machine transferred back to the hotel operator and she had to have someone call me which they did. He said he would be right up to take back a plate of pasta and remove it from my bill. They were coming up to retrieve it? not like I was going to eat it but this is odd. I'm going to attach a picture of this because the sticker shock is so much that I'm posting at 4 o'clock in the morning. We ordered mahi tacos, cheesecake , BLTA & two glasses of wine..(Mac and cheese was returned) and that totals to $75 then add 20℅ resdel $16 (20℅ of 75 = 15!...how many people have been overcharged?) and Del charge of $5 and service charge for $16 and tax... and they have the audacity to add a line for tip ...& the guy characteristically acts like he is lucky to get nickel..and I foolishly add a tip. These fees are ridiculous, the food shows up in a paper sack with plastic glasses and plastic spoons and knives like a picnic...for these kind of fees it should be rolled on a cart served correctly and I still wouldn't pay those fees and the food below average.. When we returned the mac and cheese the new bill reflected that but they failed to adjust their 20% fee and no one was around in management and of course the front desk can't do it.. so I will figure that out today. unless you're doing really well and want a really poor meal served on paper plates that you can overpaid for stay home... peanut butter and jelly all day! read more

I recommend bringing the family here for an early dinner for buffalo wings, chips n salsa. The chicken quesadilla, swim burger, and fish tacos were great. After dinner head next door to an outdoor fire pit for smores and meeting other families traveling to the Hyatt resort. Remember to bring your kids purple cup for refillable drinks during your stay. I highly recommend this resort for family and kids. read more

Me and my boyfriend came to the bar to have dinner and drinks. We sat down at the bar and was waiting for one of the 3 bartenders to serve us. They were serving people who ordered drinks standing up next to us. And they were making drinks right in front of us and we were ignored for about 10 minutes. We decided to leave and we're never coming back. read more

Ordered the fish tacos. Being in SoCal, had high expectations. Was completely disappointed in both the food and service.

for hotel type food, they were way better than average... the good: ...the swim salad with steak was a healthy hit ...chicken wings were nice and spicy ...hamburger was good...great if you're tired and don't want to drive ...brownie dessert was good ...room service was less than 30 minutes ...service was pretty attentive...pool area is crazy chaos on the weekends ...smores over the fire pit at night the bad: ...pizza tasted like chef boy ardee, but my child liked it (light sauce...cheese only) the ugly: ...drunk old guys at bar with loud cursive mouths (family atmosphere????) read more

Friendly and hospitable staff. Most definitely overpriced but, they can do that-great location for the pool. During my stay I tried the buffalo wings, garlic fries and bbq chicken pizza. Wings were great, fries were fries and I'd pass on the pizza. read more

Food was expensive for the quality. $10 for an overcooked burger and some cold fries. Beer prices were decent. I waited 15+ minutes at a table before a staff member walked past and asked if I needed something. I started giving me my order and was told to hold on. 10 minutes later she came back and took my order. Once I got my food and beer I didn't get any service for over 25 minutes. My kids ate and went back to the pool and I had to sit there trying to flag my waitress down for the check. I should have just left. read more

This place is great! My server was Ray and he was honesty amazing!! He was always checking on us and filling up our drinks. He was so kind and had a great personality! Loved his service and how he was always smiling :) read more

The manager and service was nice, but the food was a major disappointment. I ordered the chicken wrap and the chicken tasted like chard, burnt, rubber. Because I had been waiting for an hour (they open at 11 but don't serve food until 11:30), I just opted for the chips and salsa with guac. It was like a $15 app, so you would think it was all fresh and delicious, but as another customer posted, the salsa was like a paste or spaghetti sauce looking purée and the guac was just a regular small bowl of guac. I only ate the unimpressive guac. The waitress realized my discontent and the manager waived the ticket. I am still hungry... read more
