The Nolen - Cocktail bar in San Diego - 453 Sixth Ave #7007, USA

The view is amazing; I recommend arriving around 4-5 to catch the beautiful sunset. The staff is very friendly, and the food and drinks are good, but they only accept card payments.

Came here for a drink with my wife and some friends. This place has a nice view of downtown and the place is chill. The service was awesome from the hostess to the servers. The food was just ok. We had the short rib sliders, the tater tots, and the Korean chicken bites. The sliders lacked flavor I think and felt really dry. The tater tots tasted like frozen tater tots from the frozen food section and the chicken bites were overcooked. The drinks were good. So, overall I would recommend this place just for the view and to get a drink.

Absolutely Phenomenal Place to go if you want a birds eye view of the town. The Large Couches and fire pits make it very comfy laid back and welcoming when your sat down. The food is also amazing! They only do like small bites but they pack a punch just like their massive selection of drinks but we all know why we go here, its the views and they are many and plentiful. It gets busy but the Rooftop is good sized so you can spread out.

Music was ridiculously loud. And it was bad. I'm sorry whoever had the aux when I went, but ur music sucks. The view wasn't really worth it imo. We got seated on the side with less buildings. The reflections from inside the restaurant was also blocking our view due to the glass panel. Drinks were good.

4 tables, two servers, drink refills took about 40 minutes post order but the food and drinks were tasty when they finally arrived. My drinks were wrong both times & the food we ordered was also wrong but was happy with our good company anyway. Servers just chatted and hung out on their phones but I’m sure this establishment will elevate with staff investment. Worth a try just be prepared for unnecessary wait and serving times!

Great drinks, great atmosphere! Definitely a cool spot to stop by if your in downtown San Diego. I’d say the prices are good for the atmosphere. Food items are limited, so not a spot to drop by for more than a snack with your drinks.

The atmosphere and service were great. My friends and I were seated at the small round tables next to the window with a great view. The drinks need to be improved though.

Update 12/29: just a note for those who don’t know. Still an auto gratuity regardless of party size. Still good service. Decent happy hour and fire pit is great for cold nights Beautiful location. Have always loved the rooftop bar especially at sunset or on a sunny day. Good small plates and decent service table side. Some bartenders have been really cool; Others hate eye contact and service. I refer a lot of clients there based on my past experiences and the vibe there. Not a fan of 18% auto gratuity when the drink is very expensive and requires no work, though. That brought me here.
