Fire pit table
Rafael G.

Make your reservation in advance for sunset times. If you can request the table by the fire pit, the view is IG worthy but be warned, everyone will be trying to take Pics near your table. The atmosphere overall is amazing, the drinks are delicious and staff is friendly. They have a dj in the evening and it adds to the overall vibe. The food is tapas style so I just had some tiny tacos which were just ok. The views are what you're paying for and it's definitely worth it. Total date night spot.

Most gorgeous rooftop bar ever. The views are stunning, highly recommend going for sunset. Drinks are what you'd expect at this gorgeous hotels rooftop, but the ambience, staff, and views make it worth it. I had the passion sour which was one of the best versions of a whiskey sour I've had, and my mom had the sunset spritz which was delicious and refreshing. Staff was kind, dj played great music that matched the atmosphere perfectly.

Some of the most incredible views in Cabo, of the ocean, the beach, and even the Arco in the distance. Very hip spot w/ delicious hand crafted cocktails, served with beautiful presentation. Nice assortment of small plates, too (chips and salsa w/ guacamole, quesadillas, taquitos). Don't traditionally get a burger while in Baja, but hear it's amazing. They also have some tasty deserts - churros w/ a milk butterscotch sauce and pecans, a gluten free double chocolate brownie w/ vanilla ice cream or banana split. Yum! NOTE: You definitely want to make reservations in advance - they book up quickly, especially around sunset.

Came to the rooftop each night of my stay to have a few drinks and listen to live music. There are several booths, high tops, and a bar you can stand or sit at; plenty of seating, including some around a fire pit (make a reservation). The staff was very accommodating and gave all guests that were cold a blanket to use as a shawl around their shoulders. For dinner, I ordered the prime beef burger and was pleasantly surprised. GREAT burger (I wrote it off before I even ordered it, since I was in Mexico, but it was way better than several American burgers I've had). Drinks were a little overpriced (beware if you order any sort of champagne). Really enjoyed the vibe on the rooftop!! Gorgeous views too, so consider coming up at sunset for some pretty pictures.

You can't beat the view. Period. It has all of the elegance of a high end hotel with the fun ambiance of a casual lounge. Food is delicious, smaller portions but then you can try a lot without getting full. Which is a plus for me. Service is amazing, everyone is super accommodating here and they constantly are checking up to make sure your are happy. Come back here every time we are in Cabo. Which since my in laws live here... is every few months.

Wow this place has THE best views of Cabo San Lucas! You can see the arches and the entire beach/ocean. I definitely suggest going to watch the sunset. It's the perfect spot to take photos, too! My friend recommended that I come to The Rooftop, and I'm so glad I did. We made a reservation and just went for some drinks and dessert because the menu is a bit pricey. I recommend making a reservation. It helps if you have a reservation because if you're not staying at the hotel (like us), it is gated to get in and you have to tell the guard you are going to The Rooftop. I loved the vibes here; they even had a lady singing/DJ-ing some live EDM and she was amazing! The service was friendly and quick. They also gave us blankets because it gets a bit chilly at night. I lovedddd my drink-bitter pina colada (which wasn't bitter at all). I'm gluten-intolerant and was surprised to find that their churros are gluten-free. I ordered them and devoured the whole plate to myself. They came with a caramel dipping sauce too. They also have a gluten-free brownie; will definitely try that next time.

Food service is great!!! Ambiance is the best part. Day time is nice but sunset is beat.

When we went to the Cape Hotel we'd been in Cabo San Lucas staying at an AirBnB for about a week and a half. We're digital nomads and can work from anywhere, so, this isn't vacation: just a different place to work from. However, you want to chill out and have fun every now and then! The entire experience of the Rooftop Bar was pretty great - except for one thing which I'll get to later. When you get to the entrance road, watch for the bug stone plinth that says Thompson Hotel - The Cape and all the restaurants on it. Apple Maps wanted us to turn a bit later and that would have been a mistake. The road down makes it look like you have to snag a parking spot but just keep going - all the way to the first hotel then stay to the right to the gate. You need a reservation to get in and they'll check to make sure you're on this list. Once that's done you can go through the gate. There really isn't any parking. It's all valet. But, you're about to spend over $150 US on drinks and snacks; you can do the valet! The think I love about the bottom floor of The Cape is that it's all open and everywhere has a great view of the bay and the Cabo Arch. If you're a bit early for your reservation, stop and hang out a bit. Or do it after. You can take the first set of elevators or the second. The second allows you to walk through the area and exits you right out at the entrance. We were taken through and had a great table, a high top, right on the glass wall with an amazing view of the bay, the arch, and all the people and boat watching. Our waiter was there right away and got us sorted with waters (bottled) and a couple of drinks. We didn't have anything we didn't like. We also ordered a few small plates and shared them. The portions are not generous, but, you're not really there for dinner. While we were eating a small musical act was setting up. It was a guy on guitar and a young woman with a great signing voice. It was very "lounge-style" but that fit the atmosphere and was really nice. My only complaint is that after desert, when we were ready to leave, our waiter, or anyone, was really had to find. Not sure if it was shift change or what. We ended up flagging down just anyone so we could pay the bill and leave. On the way out we checked out the views from the large area to the east on the top floor and took the east elevators down. Valet had the car out quickly and we left very satisfied.

Gorgeous rooftop panoramic views! This would be a beautiful location for a wedding or special event. The drinks are delicious and the presentation is great for both drinks and food. The margaritas as delicious! We came on a Monday and it was pretty quiet but it is very upscale and I can tell it's a good time when it's busy. Definitely check it out!

Oh the scenesters. The view was everything you have heard and more. We reserved online and were seated immediately upon arrival. The staff were delightful and very attentive from start to finish. We carefully planned our visit for sunset. It did not disappoint. I had their version of the pina colada and it was delicious. Drinks are about $15 USD each. My husband had an aperitif with Aperol and he loved it too. We had nibbles and loved the potatoes and calamari the most. They were about $12-18 each. This is what dreams are made of. There is live music too on Fridays and Saturdays. Plan your next drinks and small plates dinner here. The photos you take will love you for it.

Views and the band
Ali S.

If you are looking for a cool vibe, live entertainment, and an amazing view, look no further. I came for the dessert and ended up staying way longer than I thought I would. It has good vibes, I really enjoyed the live band and the view. Service by Marina was exceptional. Try the brownie, I got it without the ice cream, surprisingly good!

Rooftop overlooking the beach

Super friendly staff. Great rooftop view. Wonderful food and drinks. They had an amazing DJ singer when we came. And you must take photos at the corner glass which look at the Cabo Arch. At sunset it's wonderful lighting. Will definitely come back.

Sweet heat (L) & Mezcal Con Tamarindo (R)
Hudson B.

We came here for drinks and had the Sweet heat & Mezcal Con Tamarindo off their cocktail menu. Drinks were really good and service from Enrique was great. They definitely aren't cheap but the view makes up for it.

Love me some Sand Bar!!! Right over the beach, great staff, good food (see below), and they rescue…read moredogs!! The owner has over 100 dogs at his farm he rescues .. at any time there are free roaming dogs special to the owner that he's rescued around the restaurant. You can buy bacon for them at the bar to feed them so they can enjoy and continue to live their best life. At the entrance, there's a place to donate to their dog rescue campaign. can't tell you how much that means to me and how cute these little little dogs are! you have to stop by even if just to feed the dogs bacon, although the octopus appetizer is the best I've ever had!!

Be aware! This place is racist!!…read more Our family is Asian and went on 3/25. The service and drink was great, so we decided to come back the next day. However, the second visit was completely different. As soon as we sat on the front row loungers, the server looked unhappy and told us there was a $40 minimum per person. I was like I didn't hear anything about that the day before, but I said okay since we were planning to have lunch anyway. Later, I noticed some white customers sitting in the same area, so I asked if they were told about the minimum. They all said no. When I asked the server why only my family was told, he looked nervous and said he needed to check with the manager. That didn't make sense--if it's a policy, why check? When he came back, he then told the other (white) customers about the $40 minimum, and several of them left right away. It felt like the manager realized they had no choice but to enforce the rule after I questioned it. The whole experience felt very unfair and uncomfortable.

We stopped in for lunch. Amazing food and super kind wait staff…read more Things to know: If you arrive early main stage area is closed but you can still take come pictures of the awesome stage. If you want water you will need to pay for it. They have bottled water for sale. A person (male) was in the men's room helping with soap, towels and water with a tip jar. Seems strange but ok. You can request to sit at thr bar or outside covered area. You can purchase souvenirs at the left entrance before going into the restaurant. Food and drinks was outstanding and we weren't even that hungry! Hope to return soon!

This isn't a restaurant I'd typically choose myself, it's a definite "tourist trap," as others have…read morenoted, but my husband knows Sammy and wanted to visit. Cabo Wabo feels similar to a Hard Rock Cafe in both ambiance and menu. That said, it's not exactly what I'd seek out to eat in Cabo San Lucas. Who goes to Mexico for cheese fries and hot dogs? I ended up ordering a glass of wine and a mixed green salad, and honestly, it was better than I expected. The salad included romaine lettuce, tri-colored bell peppers, along with celery, cucumber, and a little avocado, finished with a tangy ginger vinaigrette. I'd love to see more healthy dishes, local cuisine, and gluten-free or vegan options on the menu here. The service was excellent, though there may have been a few too many servers, as they tended to hover a bit. Prices are also on the steep side for junk food. But overall, it was a better experience than I anticipated.
