The Nolen Rooftop is San Diego's most spectacular rooftop wine and cocktail bar — perched on the 14th floor of the Courtyard San Diego Gaslamp/Convention Center hotel with breathtaking panoramic views of the downtown skyline, San Diego Bay, and beyond. Taking its design cues from the speakeasies of the Prohibition era, The Nolen combines elegant velvet lounge seating, communal fire pits, and a chic modern aesthetic with sweeping urban views that rival the best hotel bars in the country. The wine and cocktail program features signature creations alongside classic pours — the Nolen Smash has become a visitor favorite. Spicy Korean chicken bites and small shareable plates complement the drinks perfectly. The Nolen is ideal for convention visitors, romantic date nights, pre-Padres game drinks, and anyone seeking San Diego's most dramatic and atmospheric bar experience. Arrive early for prime fire pit seating — tables are in high demand. Note: 90-minute seating windows apply; gratuity is included on all checks regardless of party size.
