They have decent food for being a hotel bar. I tried a lot of things on the menu and liked mostly everything. The service was always nice. The ambiance is nice with the fire pits outside. Overall I'd eat there again and I'm mostly just posting this review to post the photos. read more

Take me back to the 90s, it's right here!!!. Classic look with the usual drinks. No one is messing around just a straight up good time. Got some lemon drops and as a night cap and it hit the spot. Also, you WILL hear 90s music. The name itself reminds me of the Max in Saved by the bell, if you know you know! read more

Stayed at the Doubletree for a conference and received a $10 off voucher. It was late and I didn't want to go too far. Bayside Bar is located behind the cafe. Grabbed a table and ordered the pan seared salmon which was served with risotto. The plate was nicely presented. Overall, it was a good dish - just needed a bit more seasoning. read more

Service was superb! Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. The place is also cozy - the plus on this is that if you were a guest of the hotel, you get access to the poolside and your hotel room. Awesome experience with the team members. I love their BBQ pizza - it was delish! read more

Bayside Bar - Chicken Breast and Pasta - American Near Me - San Diego, California

Slept on Hotel bar and restaurant that doesn't feel or taste like a hotel bar and restaurant. Plenty of TVs, reasonably priced menu with more options, no bland food, and more. Love the gaslit fireplace patio, with activities surrounding the gated pool. Staff is friendly and knows the area. You can be a local in here without being a guest. No need to pay the inflated prices at the tourist traps nearby. Connected to the legendary Point Loma Cafe, so you know the food is solid. read more

This hotel bar:restaurant has surprisingly good food. The fire tables outside made for a lovely evening with colleagues at the end of a long weekend seminar. While my salmon was def overcooked (see pic) it was still tasty and the service was friendly. My salad was super fresh and tasty also. read more

The establishment has to be one most misunderstood Patio dining/ Sports Bar I've been to. Service was the best anywhere I've been to in Pt. Loma vicinity, located right Behind Point Loma Cafe, on North Harbor Dr. Extensive menu for a sports bar, they told me that the kitchen is open till 10 PM. But near closing time they will make the food to go. Why five stars? It's not very common for hotels that have a restaurant/bar at the facility now day's, so if your travel weary there's this facility that has an absolutely beautiful patio to enjoy your meal and cocktails at. I can't comment on all the food but they made the Cobb salad the way I like it . My friend ordered the pork ribs they were good but in my experience there not winning any awards. I'll be looking into staying at this property's hotel in the future for the above convenience, when flying or long range fishing out of San Diego. It's also Adjacent to Ace long term parking lot that's $12 a day, way cheaper then many lots. Enjoy read more

Bayside Bar - Cobb salad, I thought it was excellent? - American Near Me - San Diego, California

We were staying at the Holiday Inn Bayside. The on-site restaurant/bar is Bayside Bar. We decided to stop in for an after dinner night-cap prior to heading back to our room. First off, Bayside needs to embrace the hard seltzers. They are all the rage right now and Becky is on that bandwagon. She would have really enjoyed an Ashland on tap or even a can of White Claw or Truly. She settled for a light beer. Minus one star. Outside of the lack of seltzers we really enjoyed Bayside Bar. There was plenty of seating indoors and the outdoor patio seating was fantastic. We were with another couple and we found a great table with a firepit. It was perfect for a chilly night. The bartender and staff were friendly and engaging. The prices for a hotel bar were not too horrible. If we stay at the Holiday Inn Bayside again, we'd return to the Bayside Bar for sure. read more

The bar was very convenient and served food until close. The portions were very generous and the food was good. I especially enjoyed their nachos and the California chicken sandwich. The bar staff were very nice, and their outdoor patio is relaxing for enjoying a drink in the evening air. read more

The Best hidden spot ever! Small and very intimate. Kelsey the bartender was amazing and gracious. The food was fresh and delightful. They make you feel welcome from the get go. Definitely worth the visit and the return!!!! read more

Bayside Bar - Shrimp Tacos - American Near Me - San Diego, California

Service is great but the food not so good. We had the beef pie, carne asada, stir fry. All dishes were horrible. Someone said it's a hidden spot..... well it's not. It's the hotel restaurant. The same person that reviewed del taco said this was a hidden gem. Maybe other dishes are good but we didn't like it. I do recommend the breakfast at the cafe. It's was delicious and big portions. Service is great there too. read more

Had an opportunity to visit Bayside Bar in mid December. I would recommend it on several accounts. The food was delish and the outdoor seating very comfortable - right on the other side of the pool. The service was exceptional. Eric - our server went above and beyond to make sure we had all that we needed despite the fact that someone had called out sick, leaving him to cover all of the tables. His personableness made us feel at home. A great place for those staying at the Holiday Inn as well as those living in San Diego. Will visit again - thank you Eric and hats off to the chef! read more

This place has great food and atmosphere. The service is great as well. I would recommend this place for sure.

My wife and I visited Bayside the evening of 1/13/2024; Eric was our server, I think he was the only server. He did a fabulous job! Great service, checked back often, and very friendly! He made our last night in San Diego a wonderful experience. Thanks Eric!! read more

The food is spectacular, the service wasn't so great. I believe the guys name is Eric he was terrible to staff and would ignore tables. If he's a manager he shouldn't be. I believe Ole and Sara the bartender are the people who attended guest and they were spectacular. I hope the next time I stay I get their shifts and not Eric. Other than that food there is off the wall amazing. read more

I stayed at the Holiday Inn here two weeks in a row and had dinner and drinks at this bar/restaurant. Eric, the bar tender was so pleasant to everyone and provided top notch service! I also have to give kudos to Jacob who was bartending this week. Such a great dining experience! read more

This restaurant was among the first few results when searching for a kid friendly place in central San Diego. I have to say they fully delivered on that part - lots of space, comfortable seating, kid's menu, friendly and helpful service staff. So if you're looking to dine with young children, this is a good place. The staff were friendly, but super slow. I picked the lobster pasta, which tasted flat and one dimensional and the only flavor was salt. Lobster pieces were overcooked and even though the pasta was cooked al dente, that alone couldn't carry the dish and at just under $40 it was just poor value. My wife's salad was pretty bad... read more

We love our dinner and portions were perfect. Stayed at hotel next door so only a few steps away.

Best happy hour in town!!! Cheap drinks, great staff, good good! I always get the Ceviche, and on Tuesdays I get the tacos. The staff always remember me and my order (both food and wine). I get here once or twice a month, and I make it a point to sup and drink here. read more

Great food and great location right across the street from the bay! Enjoy a drink and some great food! My favorite plate is the short ribs and the salmon! read more

Jacob was the best bartender! He delivers quality and professionalism and the BEST old fashioned! EVER. We appreciate hom very much !!

Great location, good food, friendly staff. The outside seating is fabulous. Definitely a spot for locals. However the prices are overpriced outside of Happy Hour. read more

One of the hidden gems in San Diego, great service and prime location. If you are in the area ask for bartender Big Mike to make you a Wild Berry Mojito. Wow! What a flavor! Wunderbar! read more

If you find yourself near Liberty Station, or west Harbor Dr. and looking for a break from the crowds, look no further than this little gem. Situated behind the Cafe on Harbor Drive at the Holiday Inn. You can sit in a comfortable dining area or out on the patio around the fire pits. They offer a full bar, several craft beers on tap and the kitchen is open till 10 p.m. They have several things to offer. Calamari is a standout as better than average. But whatever you ordered be sure to ask for the in-house made Salsas especially the salsa fresca. read more

Horrible service. Point Loma Cafe is closed at night. Traffic is instead diverted to Bay Side Bar. We ordered to go and it took 1 hour to get the food. We waited for the food, the waiter kept ignoring us. They waited on another table who got there later than us. There was another table who came earlier than the family who got serviced first. The staff pick and choose who to service first. Poor management. read more

Good cheap drinks. Great people. Awesome music. Exactly what I would hope for from a hotel bar. I haven't tried the food yet, but everyone promises that it's great. Sarah is a doll. read more

Bayside Bar - Complementary apps for the night. - American Near Me - San Diego, California

We had planned to dine at the cafe, but we were a little early and confused by the "closed" sign until just after 5pm when we strolled into the bar. They explained that the regular menu would be offered and our t mobile discount would be honored. Happy Hour is from 5-7:30 and they do offer apps and have a rotating HH menu. Craft pints were $5. We ordered the sesame crusted salmon and shrimp with tortellini in cream sauce. The fish was well cooked and both presentations and execution was excellent. I think next time we'll visit for HH and split a sandwich or another dish along with the HH apps and featured menu items. read more

This review is not based on food or drinks since we did not get a chance. A friend & I saw a picture of fish tacos in the elevator & it made us wanted some. We agreed to quickly put our bags in our rooms & dash over since there was about 20mins left til closing. Walked in & the bartender said he already made last call. It's all good - we just wanted to order food. "Only take out". That's fine by us. Took him a few minutes to hand us the menu as we stood there. Then he said the kitchen is closing& to hurry up & order. Normally, all that would be cool, but it was with the tone & attitude the way he said it. I understand it's late & you want to go home, but dude, there's still like 10 people sitting around nursing their drinks & what not. We decided it was best to just let him finish up his deal so he can head on home... he definitely needed to chill! read more

very good for being a hotel restaurant. mine and my mom's food was okay and we'd definitely eat here again if we went back to the holiday inn. the server was so nice! we were very happy with her. it was her for four tables and she did a great job making us all happy. the food came out very fast too! read more
