Such a fun bar with delicious drinks! Definitely high in price, but as expected with it being in a highly trafficked tourist beach being on the outskirts of hotel del. We had some delicious drinks and such a nice bartender. Couldn't recommend the Windandsea enough. Just so good! My husband had the peachy bottoms and loved it as well. Great for a casual drink on the beach! read more

The worker named Justin recommended me the shrimp taco and when I tell you, that was as the best taco i've ever had

Great beachside spot for tasty, affordable, tacos, and " steps to the beach" adult beverages. So amazing. It's such a cute little spot is nestled into such an iconic, beautiful compound that is the Hotel Del Coronado. Oh, and the bartenders and servers were really down to earth and gracious to the thrones of tourists. read more

The only reason we came to this beach is to reminisce our wedding after 1 year. We found a great little picnic bench but sadly the bartender was very rude. It was our first time buying some drinks here and if most definitely be our last, the Surf Bar bartender made sure of that. Luckily the weather is perfect and our beach lounging neighbors are so friendly. It's also good to see careful social distancing and to actually see people's faces after so long. read more

Not worth it. I got the Island Breeze cocktail and it was overly sweet while also having an unpleasant alcohol taste at the end (aka the combination of the fruitiness and the alcohol just didn't go well together). What's more, the drink costed $22. Although drinking cocktails on the beach seemed ideal and the picture that I took looks beautiful, it was a horrible experience; i.e. sand got in the drink, the drink itself was unpleasant to down, and it was expensive. Unless you desperately need this picture for an "I'm so cool IG post," this place is a "no-go" read more

Del Beach Bar - Island Breeze cocktail ($22). Pic looks great, but it tasted horrible (overly sweet/weird fruit & alc combination) - Bars Near Me - Coronado, California

Nice location. Nice view. Laid back beach vibe and atmosphere with California prices. Located close to historic Hotel del Coronado. 1). Drinks. Limited selection of wine and spirits. Limited food options. Very expensively priced. Ordered regular red wine and it cost about a bottle of a decent red. 2). Customer Service. Good and laid back. Goes well with the area. Very quick and attentive. 3). Atmosphere. Beach vibe. You will get the vacation feel while chilling out. This is what makes this location very good. 4). Others. Unless you are staying in the hotel, there is very limited parking. You can use their beach tables and chairs with your order. Can get cold when the wind is howling. Good vibe. Go here for the atmosphere. 3* because this is an average location really. It reminds me of a vacation without being on vacation. 2 less * for the very expensive price and for very limited parking. read more

Great beach side bar to grab a beer on the beach. Wonderful bartenders with great service. A bit on the expensive side for a beach bar with hard seats. read more

The location deserves 5 stars as who does not like to have a drink on a beautiful white sandy beach? My friend and I ordered two mojitos...$37.00. Absurd! Definitely not a place where a local will go to have a beverage. It's really too bad that the prices are that outrageous as most people living here would like to support the local establishments. These prices are really for the tourist going for the bragging rights to say...we had a drink at the Del. I guess the Del does not need local money or support. Shame! read more

Solid beach bar/shack that's literally a step away from the beach. Very laid back, good amount of seats, and amazing vibe. Limited selection of wine, but a decent cocktail and beer menu. Nice views, and even better, they offer tacos! The mahi mahi taco was a little too fishy for me, but slathered with whatever green sauce they use, it completely made up for it. It was a little chilly the night I went- they could use more heaters in the seating area. Take advantage of walking on the beach during sunset with your drinks while you're there- completely worth it. read more

Absolutely rude! Martin and Tyler gave poor service with a bad attitude. Not accommodating in any way. When we went back to the bar 10 minutes after ordering a couple drinks, waiting in line again, Martin's response was "What? I did not take your order man!" Go somewhere else. Vacationers want to have a good time not feel disregarded by nasty employees! Clearly they don't want business. In addition the served a nasty grisly taco. See the photo. read more

Closet bar to the beach. The bartender over poured patron into my cup..... Complaints? I think not. The bar has multiple tables and chairs for your sitting pleasures. I did not pay close attention to the drink availability, but they seem to have a multitude of drink options. Probably pricey but still a great place to stop by and have a drink before you tan. read more

Shrimp tacos were great. Yellow tail was a bit dry and the drinks are ok. Only seating is in the sun. Quick spot for a bite and a drink. Nothing really more. Not too exciting, but not bad at all. read more

I love you San Diego!!! We are seriously blessed to be living in America's Finest City. Perfect day to bake under the sun with Ramona! had lots of fun tanning in our itty bitty bikinis on the sand. then we continued baking on the fake grass located in front of hotel del where we watched children play and couples be romantic. So cute and relaxing. read more

Hands down my favorite bar in San Diego. Where else can you bring your pup to have a drink, watch the sunset and listen to live music at the beach? Love Jeff and Steve and they are always taking care of us even on the busiest days. Ask Jeff to make you a margarita and don't miss out on the shrimp taco either. read more

We are staying at the Glorietta Bay Inn in Coronado right across from Hotel Del. You don't have to be a guest of the hotel to use this beach set-up service! Full bar with yummy specialty cocktails available plus a limited beach menu (see pic). You can choose the "bed" half-moon canopy or the two single lounge chair canopy. Loved the bed! We played cards and relaxed! Felt private! They also provide beach toys for the kids as an added service. read more

Cool atmosphere but that's about it. Very over priced and service was below average. Stopped their to get a quick drink while walking on the beach and ended up pay way more then I should have for a pina colada and sex on the beach. Not worth it in my opinion. read more

How rude! The bartender at this bar/taco shack was absolutely rude. It's been years since I have encounter such a feeling. That frustrated feeling you get when another person treats you like crap... I don't really let things like this get to me but when you are having such an amazing day and it happens it's quite surprising... I've travelled all over the world and I did not expect this at Del Coronado. Very disappointed, I will not be back. read more

My friend had recommended getting a cocktail at Del Beach Bar during my first time visit to Coronado, so we stopped by on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Only three people in line and one bartender working - not bad, we didn't mind waiting. Finally it was our turn! Only problem: the customers who had already been served and wanted second rounds suddenly formed a new line on the other side. The bartender literally ran over there to cater to them first. Huh?! The growing line behind us were just as confused. As far as I knew, these line-cutters were neither the president nor royalty who deserved special treatment. When the bartender finally came back to us, no greeting whatsoever. He also spoke on a whisper level and gave me an attitude when I told him I couldn't hear him. If you're going to be a jerk, then I'm going to order a difficult blended frozen drink. The drinks were pricey too, $15-20. Honestly, I'd rather be drink-less on the beach than deal with this bar. read more

If I could give it 0 stars I would! The bartenders here are super rude they honestly don't know what customers service is. My husband and o stopped by this bar after our bike ride we literally waited 10 minutes to be acknowledged or helped and it was super slow! the Bar tender name Tyler was having personal conversation with another employee completely ignoring us till I called him out and asked him " Who can we order our drinks from?" He looked so upset because I interrupted he's little conversation he was having with his co worker. Honestly i recommend go somewhere else to get a drink where the drinks are a good price and where they don't have rude kids working that have zero customer service experience. read more

The tall bar tender is very very rude. I think the hotel really need to replace him. He does not even know how to split a check. He has a major attitude problem. read more

Came for a drink and a taco with a group of friends. The positives: the carne taco was super tasty; the strawberry cocktail was really good. The negatives: one taco and one drink was $26 which is outrageous given this is a beach bar. Also, the bartenders are abrupt, rude and there is no 'hello', simply 'what do you want'? Well, to start with a I'd like a polite greeting, no attitude, and some civility. I'm giving 3 stars at a push. read more

Love the Del, but they missed the mark on the taco shack. They advertise "Taco Tuesdays".....and anyone in San Diego knows this means special priced taco night. NOT at the Del, all tacos are still overpriced at $7-8. Yes, it is "the" Del, but don't call it Taco Tuesday when it is the same priced tacos as every other time the taco shack is open (and it is open late a couple other times, too, so no big deal about Tuesday). When I contacted the Del, they said they have music....when I complained about calling it Taco Tuesday. Lame. And drinks are still $16!!! False advertising for this area. Just expected better from them. Tacos were okay, but again, object to calling it Taco Tuesday. read more

Tacos suck! Do not eat here. There's better food than this place around the hotel. I will admit they do make great drinks but that's about it. Oh I also love the area to where you can sit and have drinks read more

Decent place to get a drink on the beach. Ok, it's right at the Hotel Del Coronado, so it's not going to be cheap. Wifey and I parked our bikes and stopped to have a nice drink in the shade after walking in the surf for a bit. I had a manhattan and she had a nice tropical drink. The drinks set us back about $40 including tip, but that's what you'd have to expect. The drinks were good, we had a nice moment there on the beach. Totally worth it. Just don't expect it to be cheap. read more

Saw this place the other day and thought it looked cute with a great view. Seemed like a great place to grab a drink. I went there this weekend with some friends. I used to be a bartender in my younger days and honestly was blown away by the rudeness of these bartenders. They are all guys and are so rude. Almost like an entitled feeling. I thought maybe I did something wrong or someone in my group maybe said something stupid but then I watched them do it to other guests. I've never seen such a thing. And the drinks are a little pricey. You think they would be a little nicer. Anyway, won't be going back. Grab a drink elsewhere. Btw, I live in Coronado and there are places where people are actually nice and appreciate your business. read more

Listen, it's a pricey place but look at the location. You're paying for that view! The tacos and drinks were good, not the best, but made better by the scenery. The staff could have been a little nicer but I wasn't going for, or expecting, a fine dining experience. 2 tacos and a cocktail put me around $30. Would I go back? Probably not. But I'm glad I went once. read more

Nice location, that's about all... Horrible tacos, over priced drinks and bad customer service.

The location is out of this world....at the Hotel del Coronado, with gorgeous views of the beach and the roar of the crashing waves. This is an outdoor beach deck with patio furniture type of restaurant. We enjoyed a delicious late afternoon snack of guacamole and salsa with chips. They have a wide variety of drink and we had exceptional service. read more

Fun beach to go for a good walk and even scramble over some of the rocks to get closer to the ocean with the picturesque hotel del Coronado in the background. There's also some amazing sand castles and sand sculpture there too and people just enjoying the sun. When you go over the rocks though, realize you are on a public beach and that other people want to see from the vantage point you're at too. Don't just stand there, let people by and be courteous. When I was there this girl was just standing not moving for about 20 minutes not letting anyone by. It's plain rude. Everyone wants to enjoy and we can all easily share. Also the nearby ritzy apartments do not have an exit or entrance back easily accessible to the beach. Finding a restroom I also soon found was a chore so those with tiny bladders be forewarned. read more

Really, really bad service. We ordered the double bed on the beach and the teenagers working the cabana forgot to set up our seat. After 15 minutes I had to walk back to the desk to remind the employees that we were there. Our umbrella continued to blow away in the wind and the teenager we asked to reattach the umbrella could not figure out what to do to help and eventually never came back. After receiving no service from the server on staff I again walked to find someone that could at the very least bring us water. He forgot about us and I finally walked to the bar to serve myself where I had to wait in line. We finally purchased a $30 frozen fruit tray which ended up being fruit that had almost gone bad that they'd frozen so they wouldn't have to throw it out. Everything was mushy and terrible. We waited 45 minutes for the fruit tray to arrive (after I'd once again reminded someone that we were waiting) which ended up being served in a takeout container. We finally fed the $30 fruit to the seagulls. By the end of the day we were laying in a bed of our own trash because the server was clearly not interested in bussing. The only person that was helpful was someone named Davie who was clearly doing all of the work on the beach. read more

Love this tiki bar!! Their pina coladas were the best I've ever had and the shrimp tacos were delicious. The bartender was really nice and the music playing was nice tropical music. The view of the beach was nice as well. Definitely coming here again when I visit San Diego again! read more

Drinks... eh... best one was the $9 mocktail with strawberries and basil lol... didn't try the food.

Are the drinks good, yes. Are they worth the 17-27 dollars they're asking for.. no. Over priced. You're really just paying for proximity to the beach. read more

Jay Clayton is a fantastic manager. Our stay at Hotel Del Corona started yesterday, kind of clumsy, as the hotel is adjusting to all the regulations due to COVID. It's hard for the hotel. Today, Jay Clayton treated my family w/ such respect and kindness. While the regulations make it hard to enjoy a vacation, Jay created a beach experience for my kids and I so we could enjoy our day. I would return to the Hotel Del because of the way Jay treated us. Thank you! read more

Creepy bartenders were hitting on tourists and joking about perverted things when they left. They also didn't ID two very young looking girls. Also, gave me terrible service and served me a drink with dirt and a couple of dead bugs in it. Suggestion: fire the tools and run a respectable bar read more

Agreed with the others who gave 1 star. Setting is cool but the bartenders are complete A holes. They bark out "What do you want?" If you take a second to ask a question or two about the selections (which there is very little) They ask again "What do you want?" As I contemplated the wide arrange of tapped beer selections (2 of them...yes...I said only two selections) I was asked again "SIR, WHAT DO YOU WANT?" At first I thought, this must be one of those places where the staff yells and makes fun of the clientele. Except no one was laughing. :). For such an expensive drink, you'd think the service for a place like the Hotel Del Coronado would be less aggressive. Babcock and Story would turn in their grave if they knew their creation turned into this. These idiots need to be out of a job! read more
