The W San Diego's downtown lounge and outdoor 'Beach' bar area, which Roger visits from time to time with friends for drinks by the bonfire, praising attentive staff and easy access to alcohol service without an ID-check line, though he has never stayed at the hotel itself.

    ★★★★☆
    “The "Beach" is also pretty chill and a nice area to sip on some drinks while chillin' by the bonfire.”

    This review covers the hotel's lounge and outdoor 'Beach' bar area, not a hotel stay -- Roger lives about five minutes away and visits occasionally with friends. Drink prices are typical for downtown ($6 beers, $12-14 mixed drinks); there's no ID-check line, only carding when ordering alcohol. Staff are attentive, checking in frequently.
