    Amazing view .....and a nice outside bar to enjoy a drink! Good service and worth a visit!

    I finally made it over here, after hearing about this place awhile back. It was a bit confusing as we had to wait at the host stand, but then had to seat ourselves. Also it was kinda hard knowing if the seats were available or not as there would be a number sign on the table but no one there. Eventually we realized they just don't take the number signs off once food arrives which adds to the confusion. The drinks were good, but the food wasn't. The fries we got weren't crisp at all, which I can't stand limp fries. Also, besides seating yourself you also have to order both your drinks and food at the bar...which can make the line rather long. Overall, nice place to catch the sunset and drink, but that's about it.

    Perched atop the Spring Hill Suites hotel on Carlsbad Blvd. in the heart of the Village is Tower39 Rooftop Lounge. The lounge has a dedicated elevator that can be accessed from the sidewalk below, so patrons don't need to enter the hotel. The lounge is really nice. Sweeping views of the beach and ocean and Carlsbad Blvd. Comfy chairs, a lot of tables and seating. They also have comfy sofa seating and several really nice fire pits. We were there on a sunny 80-degree afternoon, so they weren't lit of course. I'd bet they are really nice at night. The vibe is upscale casual. I was perfectly comfortable in my shorts, t-shirt and flip flops. Prices were a bit high as one would expect from a hotel's lounge. $9 pints of beer. Only canned seltzers and they were $7. A seltzer (Ashland, or Brewery X or similar craft) would be nice. I enjoyed a pint of Tower39 El Capitán Mexican Lager. Bex opted for a White Claw seltzer. We did not try any food offerings. Service was a bit slow, but it was pretty busy and only one bartender was working. The bar is really nice, by the way. Yes. We will return to Tower39 the next time we're in Carlsbad.

    Best part of my experience here was the drinks, they were very refreshing! For the food, everything tasted fine but nothing special. I upgraded my waffle fries to garlic parm and they still tasted pretty plain. We were shocked to find out that you had to go to the bar to order food and drinks. While ordering, the bartender was not the friendliest and we felt extremely rushed (there was maybe one or two parties behind us in line). The photos on yelp of the ambiance and rooftop seating excited us but we were a little underwhelmed. The seating did not look as presentable in person as the pictures and it felt dirty. Overall, it was not a terrible experience but not what we had hoped for!

    To be fair we came midday on a Thursday I wanna say but wow, so worth it!!! The views were beautiful, very chill place to have a nice lunch up there. The cocktails we had were excellent, also got a very tasty mocktail. We split a salad, app, and sandwich, everything was so tasty!! Good portions and good food for a good price. Since it was so empty we ordered at the bar but it all worked out and the service was good while we were there. Definitely a chill place to catch some food, drinks, and a view!

    Cute and fun atmosphere. The line for drinks was incredibly long and moved slowly but it's nice that one you order they deliver the drink to your table. Staff if incredibly kind!

    We were here for vacation and stayed across the street.You take the elevator to the roof and you get a great view of the Carlsbad beach. You have to make your food and drink order at the bar. Isabel took our order and she was very nice. I got the Karl Strauss red trolley ale. We ordered three flatbreads and pretzel bites. These were all hand delivered from the head chef Exton he was great as well. Kelly the manager was hustling everywhere making sure it was a smooth operation. She checked on us frequently. I ended up leaving my backpack there and they put it at the front desk. Mary and Tyler were also incredible at the bar!! What an excellent restaurant and atmosphere. Like a family. Very impressed

    Pretzel bites - a generous helping - and tomato bisque. Yummy!

    What a great find! First of all, the view is fantastic. Enjoy your lunch/dinner while overlooking the ocean. You can't beat it! The food is very good. I had the buffalo wings, and they were great. Well cooked, crispy, and spicy! I also really liked the pretzel bites. Probably the most generous helping of pretzel bites I've ever had. My wife really enjoyed her tomato bisque and Mediterranean Breeze wrap. The service was very helpful and friendly! Tyler was attentive including bringing us a heater next to our table when the wind picked up. Come before 3:00 for 15% off everything! Tower 39 Rooftop is a very cool spot. We will definitely visit anytime we are in town!

    This is now one of my favorite rooftop bars to come and watch the sunset! The view is beautiful, you lose some of the sunset into the rooftop of the homes but still a great view. It was a little chilly so the firepits or tall heaters kept everyone warm. The food was delicious and the plate sizes were pretty big... we had the Happy Hour pretzel bites with cheese and cheesey flatbread (pretty much it was like pizza) and they were both amazing. Even with happy Hour it was kind of expensive... for one beer and one of those appetizers it was $18 but with the view too it was all worth it. Friendly staff, clean area, and parking is available all around the block for free or you can park in the hotel downstairs lot for a fee. Definitely go check it out!!

    The food was good. The outdoors was beautiful on the sunny day before 3 o'clock. You get 10% off on food.

This was my second time here, and I love everything about this place. First of all, kudos to the bartender--I forgot her name, but she was incredibly generous and kind. She accidentally forgot my drink and kept apologizing, but I told her it was totally fine since we had a large party. To make up for it, she gave me two shots instead of one and even added a big discount. The ambiance of this place is unique and very artsy. If you're looking for a cool, one-of-a-kind spot to hang out, this is it. There's so much attention to detail throughout--even the restroom door is thoughtfully designed with a modern, creative touch. My friend ordered a variety of cocktails, and everyone enjoyed them. The food was great as well. I ordered the hummus plate, and it was the best I've ever had--so fresh and served in a generous portion. My friends tried the pizza and a few other items from the menu, and everything got a thumbs up. If you're in the area looking for a cool place to hang out or planning a party, this is the spot. I'll definitely be back again soon.

First off, they have a "wait to be seated" sign at their entrance, but it took a while to get anyone to seat us. When we were inside, we noticed there was another entrance and people were just walking in, so "waiting to be seated" was just an option? We ordered a beer and seltzer and it took easily 10-15 minutes to get our drinks. Drinks that were in cans by the way. Music was good, DJs were good, but the whole vibe of the place is kinda everywhere. This lighting in this place needs to be more dimmed. DJs are spinning right in the middle of the room, and there's a clothes rack just chilling against the wall. The baristas are way in the back, and you can't really tell who works there. It took equally as long to get the check as it did to get my drinks. We only had 1 round of drinks. I dunno, waiting for canned drinks just threw me off. I can't imagine how much longer it would have taken to get a mixed cocktail. I only saw one guy mixing drinks and a bunch of women just hanging around. I'm assuming workers that look like they don't work there.

Located in the SeaBird Resort in downtown Oceanside right across from the beach, Piper has that classy beachside aesthetic with light grey and sand wood colors. They have a nice outside area for drinks and lounging, but we ate inside. We had a reservation for a Saturday evening and when we arrived, we were sat right away. Our party of 4 started off with the Prager Bros bread & whipped butter with sea salt and the Grilled Peaches appetizer. The grilled peaches came with burrata cheese and I really liked the two flavors and consistencies together. A friend got the lobster & coconut soup, whipped smoked eggplant, and I had the house-made spaghetti and meatball.

The restaurant was not very busy as I saw some open tables. Our waiter really was the worst. He seemed inattentive and then borderline rude when we asked to order. We sat down and got our food 2 hours later. Then we sat around for another hour waiting for our dessert/coffees and finally the check. A total time of 3 hours for dinner and the restaurant itself was flashing lights to indicate it was closing. You would think that would mean they hurried to get us settled out. Nope, the employees were just talking to each other and starting to close down...and apparently forgot about us. Some of our party started to leave because it was way too long to wait. The food was overall fine. Some plates were good and some were lackluster. The decor was sophisticated and obviously going for an upscale vibe. The bill finally came after we asked multiple times and it totaled over $1,000 and it really was dissatisfying. I would recommend everyone take their business elsewhere. There are better spots to blow some cash.
