Crowned by the locals as the ?Best Downtown Bar,

ALTITUDE Sky Lounge is the place to be seen in San Diego. At 22 stories high, ALTITUDE is the region's tallest open-air bar and boasts one of the city's best panoramic views of Coronado Island and the glittering downtown skyline, overlooking PETCO Park. New must-see upgrades include the addition of a cozy fire pit and all-night entertainment via projection screens that add to the already magnificent ambiance. Guests can lounge on swanky couches underneath a beautiful wrought-iron garden trellis, or gather around the fire pit to the sounds of a live DJ spinning the latest hits.

ALTITUDE Sky Lounge is San Diego's hottest rooftop bar, and was named to Conde Nast Traveler's 10th annual Hot List of nightclubs worldwide.

Editorial Review for Altitude – by Paul Gargano

In Short
Altitude may be the only Gaslamp nightclub where the view is more attractive than the beautiful people that mingle there. A trendy cross-polination of local scenesters and hotel guests frequent this rooftop bar, located on the 22nd floor of the Gaslamp Marriott. A spacious, vine-covered lounge area crowds quickly, sofas surround San Diego's largest firepit, and the dancefloor varies in activity based on the music.

Insider Tips

Know Before You Go

If there's a night game at Petco Park, you can watch the action from one of the bar stools that overlooks the stadium.

When To Go

Due to the fact that Altitude is a rooftop bar, it's likely they'll be closed in inclement weather.

User Reviews for Altitude

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I absolutely LOVED altitude and will be going back again very soon. It was my first time there and I was VERY impressed. I went 4th of july weekend and was expecting it to be way over packed. But it was perfect. The view is spectacular, the drinks were a little expensive but that is typical for down town. The music was awesome and the bartender was very friendly... even though he had a long line he still took time to introduce himself to myself and my date! 5 stars for altitude!!

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

This is my first review and its not a good one. Obviously I did not like the place. I went with 3 other friends and we all found it very pricey, overrated and the staff was very rude. With so many choices in downtown San Diego, they really should care about their customers. To top it off, when my buddy checked his credit card a the next day, they added $20 to the bill. After calling them and bitching, they removed this charge. I bet they get away with that a lot of the time.

Pros: View

Cons: Pricey, rude workers, check your bill.
