Little nervous about this review after seeing the photo below of the health department closing this place a few months ago!! But have to be honest. I visited over the weekend & I got the shrimp & steak taco combo. (Tacos themselves were GREAT). Price was FAIR for the quality & size. Best food I had the three days I was visiting San Diego. (RIGHT AFTER going to NOBU!) The walk from the bottom floor to the rooftop is a little gross, could definitely spruce up the scary dirty hallways or clean the greasy elevator. Sweet bartenders. Loved the-ambiance & location. It was absolutely so much fun to spend a few hours on the rooftop. read more

I need to get a job here. I watched a bartender take shots with her friends, tase them (yes, she had a taser) and then go behind the bar and ring people up. ‍ read more

Randomly ended up at this place walking my dog. Nothing beats their views of Petco Park/Gallagher Square. Got the margarita and steak taco. A bit pricey, but worth it for the views, chill vibes, and yumminess. The bartender who served me was also amazing! And though she was kind of busy, she still was helpful and friendly - even gave me an option of tajin or salt on my margarita, and explained that their salsa is home made and spicy! She was definitely right, and it was delicious. If you're lucky, come by during sound check right before a concert, like I randomly did. Basically, you'll get a free concert with the VIP seating. read more

We stopped by after the Padres game while visiting San Diego, and Betty made the experience even better! She was friendly, welcoming, and gave great drink recommendations! The service was outstanding, and her positive energy made our night. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town! read more

Great bar to hang out at that had music and a great roof top view! When it's busy I would wait to order a drink because it does take a while. So I recommend coming before it gets crowded or wait for a lul to order from the bar. The drinks a good and strong. I haven't tried to food but it looks appetizing read more

Becky and I were staying nearby for the Padres Opening Day. We stayed Wednesday to Friday. While checking into our hotel the guy at desk asked if we were there for the concert. We did not know until then that Papa Roach with Rise Against were playing Gallagher Square (Park at the Park at Petco Park) that night. I don't like Papa Roach or Rise Against enough to buy a ticket, but I do like them enough to check it out for free. Fairweather Bar has a rooftop bar that looks right into Gallagher Square. I took the two block walk and headed up the stairs at Fairweather. It was pretty packed with freeloaders such as myself (I was easily the oldest person in the jont by a solid 25 years. LOL!), but I still was able to find a spot at the railing, all the seats were taken, so I stood for my first beer. For my second, a couple left and I snagged a seat. Service was prompt and the crowd was friendly. It was a lot of fun. While all of us were enjoying a free concert, Fairweather was taking advantage also. Gouging $14.50 for a pint of Modelo. Everybody was a winner! read more

This hidden spot is located right next to the baseball stadium. The night I went, there was actually a concert outside the stadium. From the outdoor terrace, you can get a pretty good view of the concert area if you don't have tickets - which is what most of the patrons that night were doing! I will say - it was very outdated and the prices were extremely high for the experience. You order at the bar then can pick any open table you see. The entrance is a bit odd as you have to go through an old Mexican restaurant to the back area and up an elevator by the freight entrance. It wasn't the cleanest either but I think if you want to see a free concert it's worth it, otherwise I would suggest looking elsewhere in the area for other rooftops. read more

10/10 I had the carne asada fries and they were next level Crispy, perfectly seasoned fries piled high with tender carne asada, melty cheese, and all the toppings -- every bite was savory perfection. For drinks, I went with the Blue Ricardo (Rum, Passion Fruit, Blue Curacao, Coconut, Pineapple, Lemon) and WOW... sweet, tropical, and refreshing with the perfect balance of flavors. Absolutely addictive! The view is unbeatable -- you can see Petco Park and watch the Padres game live from Gallagher Square Not a lot of people know this hidden gem! Plus, you can catch concerts at Gallagher Square for free from the rooftop The staff and bartenders are amazing -- super friendly and attentive, which makes the experience even better. This spot has everything you want in a rooftop bar: drinks, food, views, and vibes. I love it here! read more

The Fairweather Bar is very close to Petco Field. It would be a great place to meet others who are going to a Padres game. It is not a Tiki Bar. The bartender was pleasant. The Mai Tai was moderately strong and a had a taste I can't identify. The ingredients were primarily pre-mixed. It certainly was not a Mai tai I would order again. On game day, the happy hour menu does not apply. read more

I gave this place 2 stars because it's decent to watch the game for lively atmosphere but the food will absolutely give you a bellyache. The service is AWFUL. I tried to order food at the bar and the guy said I couldn't but then someone behind me put in a food order with no issues with the other bartender. I did order a drink. It was meh. Our nachos were the WORST I've ever had. Absolutely disgusting. First off, who uses mozzarella cheese on nachos?! Secondly the guacamole was missing and that was the only reason why I wanted them. Third, THE SALSA WAS offensive. Just so bad. The hot dog was ok. They only gave us ketchup though so that was pretty BORING. The carne asada burrito tasted like SOAP. That was ALSO MISSING GUAC! if they were out, they should've told us. We had no idea what the issue was because we never once saw a server besides the food drop off. We had to go downstairs to order on our own to begin with. Unless you're 7 feet tall, you're not seeing much of the game unless you sit at the rails on the outside. The inner tables are nearly impossible to see because everyone stands. read more

Came here with friends when there was a Padres game and it was good time. Great view overlooking Petco Parks park in the park area. Was able to join the energy of the crowd attending the game which was nice. Food was surprisingly very good. I got the carne asada nachos and my friends got the fish ceviche and stuffed quesadilla. Flavor of the carne asada was great and so were the sauces they give you with it. Drinks were a different story. I got 4 espresso martinis in my time there and every single one of them tasted different and had a different presentation. The first and last ones were like only half full too which was tragic. Only one of them was actually really good. Somewhat same story with my friend's drinks. Think some bartending training or something may be a thing needed here for anything that's not a basic cocktail. Staff was friendly though overall. Would come back despite the drink inconsistency. read more

Two stars for the venue location and views and they had a n/a beer option. That's the only good. I have never seen bartenders deliberately move so slow and look so miserable. I was standing quite literally belly to the bar for 15 minutes before I could grab a can of beer. The bar wasn't even busy yet. It was wild. read more

Great views and vibes. We ordered a margarita and non alcoholic beer, which was kinda pricey but given the view and free concert we couldn't complain. Definitely will return! read more

East Village "Hidden" Gem. I love stopping by here for a drink. They have wine, a decent beer selection as well as some strong cocktails. It a Has always puzzled me why so many places in San Diego do not have outdoor seating especially with the year long amazing weather. Fairweather has both outside seating AND an amazing view into Gallagher Square. When I have out of town guests, I enjoy bringing them back through the "secret" engtrance and having them come out into this nice little bar. It can get super packed, but when it is calmer we always enjoy chatting with the staff who is usually happy to have a convo. Food wise, I do like the chicken tenders and my BF craves the Carne Asada nachos from time to time. Decent snacks for a nice afternoon or evening in the open air watching all the festivities or enjoying the calm. read more

I was blessed that my realtor and friend thought about me when he had available tickets for the MLB Wild Card Series Game 1 between my San Diego Padres and the Atlanta Braves. Purchasing tickets from my friend allowed me to create another lifetime memory with my son as this was the second Padres postseason game we were blessed to attend. We decided to have an early dinner before the game at Fairweather Bar with my brother-in-law and another friend. Fairweather served a burrito that was the perfect meal before we cheered on our Padres. Fairweather is in downtown San Diego practically inside Petco Park. Best parking for this spot is Ace Parking 6th and K. It's actually adjacent to the ballpark a mere few steps away from one of entrances. Gallagher Square is separated by a fence across from the restaurant. It's just down an alley next to Eppig Brewing and you can easily see the Sempra Building. As you walk towards the main doors, there is a foyer with aged brick walls, distressed flooring, an old looking barrel, and a hanging iron fixture. Seeing that, you're a little surprised when the main dining and bar area are decorated with Spanish influences. There are Mexican/Spanish colors, a mural that gives off a Mexico vibe, multi-colored decor, and piñatas. Apparently Fairweather is two-story, but I didn't visit this area because it was packed. There was plenty of seating downstairs. Here you order from the bar, you're provided a number, and the staff brings out your food. Based on the Spanish vibe, you'd assume that Fairweather sells Mexican food and you'd be right. I would have never guessed they served this type of cuisine based on the name of the restaurant. The young lady behind the bar was professional, but her customer service did not stand out. My son and I decided to order the Surf 'N Turf burrito and an order of fries. The surf and turf burrito comes with steak, shrimp, fries, sour cream, and fillings (not sure what that is). Before the food came out, I thought the $17 price tag was steep, but it was a reasonable price once we got our burritos. The burritos were huge, they were packed with an ample amount of steak and shrimp, and the other components made for a tasty entree. The steak and shrimp were tender and the fries complimented everything, but my only complaint was that it was messy while you ate it. The order of fries came out hot, they were seasoned, and they went well with the provided burrito hot sauces. That meal was the perfect start to our Padres adventure. What made this Padres game a memorable one was our Padres beating the Braves in Game 1. Loved having this memory with my Boy and we had a great time enjoying a delicious meal before the game. read more

Location location location!!! I've really only experienced the rooftop bar hear but if you are a big baseball fan like me and for whatever reason are not located inside the stadium, THIS is the place to be. You don't have to deal with crazy lines or crowds to enjoy your drinks. Hang out, have an appetizer or two and feel like you are right there in Gallagher square. My husband and I love coming here for the atmosphere and meet new fellow baseball enthusiasts each time. read more

Hidden little gem with a rooftop bar overlooking Gallagher Square in Petco Park. The place was very odd, though. First was the argument in the hallway in front of the elevator with the manager and her boyfriend- it was aggressive and went on and on. Even when we walked past them to get to the elevator, they didn't stop. They just simmered down a little. Then the hallway to the rooftop deck was EXTREMELY odd - dark, dirty, with chipped paint and dust bunnies. You had to walk through this to get to the rooftop deck, bar and restaurant. Then, the prices. Ridiculous! It wasn't dust bunny and chipped paint prices, that's for sure! We were there at about 4:30pm, and it was $18 for Buffalo Wings - 6 wings, so it came to $3/wing. The wings were ok, but nothing I'd order again. I ordered a dirty Tanqueray martini, but almost gagged on it! It was straight gin! There was no olive juice or Vermouth. And on the way down, I noticed wallpaper peeling off the walls in several places downstairs. Wow! Just wow! And not in a good way. Oh, and the plumbing in the Womens room downstairs- the sink - needed plumbing attention. read more

This is one of my favorite hidden gems in San Diego's downtown scene. I've been here for a fun place to peek into a baseball game, a corporate happy hour, and even my own wedding welcome drinks. When we were thinking of a fun, intimate, San Diego bar, Fairweather just fit the narrative. The frozen Piña Coladas are a favorite of ours, but haven't had a bad drink here ever! Friendly staff, great views and environment. Tasty food, too. Easy to work with for large parties. Great stop for locals and tourists alike, and HIGHLY recommend for any events. Our guests loved the tiki vibes and ballpark views. read more

I don't normally review places but I feel I need to put a buyer beware to this spot. This is not my first time coming here but it is the first time in a long time and I have to say it was just awful. We came here after a Padres game to wait out the crowds, ordered a Pain Killer and a Cadillac Marg. These drinks were almost undrinkable! Very poorly made. They also cost $20 a piece!!!! Don't go here, inexperienced bartenders and rip off city. read more

Went to Fairweather bar before a Padres game. The main reason for four stars is They provide a good energy before the game and good prices for drinks and food. The food, 3/5 stars, was just okay. The carne asada on the nachos and tacos were a bit over cooked but was a good portion. read more

I visited this bar after it was recommended to me while in the San Diego area. It has an almost speakeasy vibe as you access it through another restaurant called Rare Form. We went here in the afternoon around 2-3pm before a Padres game. There weren't many guest but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. The service was quick, we ordered 2 piña coladas. Drinks were tasty and the presentation was beautiful. The location of this bar is fantastic. We were able to enjoy the beautiful San Diego weather from the open air rooftop bar. I would visit here again when in the area. read more

What happened to this place? Came here when they first opened years ago and it was a really cool upscale spot. Now it's a cockroach infested hole in the wall (not in a good way) with crappy paper menus, plastic cups, and decaying decor from something that once was. Maybe it's under new management because I highly doubt that the original owner who designed this place would allow it to become what it is now. I was super disappointed when I brought friends from out of town here last night. The energy was off when we walked into the downstairs restaurant as it felt abandoned and then we went upstairs to the rooftop and it only got worse with cockroaches everywhere, peeling wallpaper and paint, and a nasty old Igloo container on the bar with a scribbled/taped piece of paper that said water. We never even got served and left after 15 min. Disappointing :( read more

Betty is THE go to person here! She was super helpful and SUPER friendly! 10/10 recommend and WILL be coming back for Betty!

Was running around downtown and needed a place to kill some time, we saw a sign for a rooftop bar and decided to check it out! Fairweather has a gorgeous view of Pet co Park and a nice little deck to hang out. You definitely are paying ballgame drink prices let me tell you and there was no event going on. If there was a little show I could see it being worth it but just a stop by drink, I'll pass next time. read more

I only got to enjoy the rooftop but it was a great bar! Drinks and staff are lovely - very involved with customers. Taking photos and interacting and having a great time. I had the tacos and they were delicious! The view of the concert from here was also really great. A bit small when things got packed but everyone was having a good time so it was fun. Removed a star because the bathroom was AWFUL. The sinks were broken and flooding, the soap dispenser was broken as well, water all over the floor from the sink that went well out in to the hallway. I know that repairs can't happen instantly but no one was giving any attention to the water flood the entire night so it was both a little gross and was so much water it was absolutely a hazard. read more

It's a hidden spot that's nestled deep into the abyss which is Petco Park! I don't expect amazing food since it is a cocktail bar first, but I really enjoyed the atmosphere that overlooks Petco and the concert venue/watch party in the distance.
