    Holy Paletas
    Kaitlyn M.

    I purchased a ResortPass to Layover and had a fabulous time. The pool is very clean and has ample seating. Towels are provided. The bar menu is great- we had some margaritas that were top notch and also ordered the champagne paleta cocktail. We split a cheese plate for lunch as well. Prices are on the high side but that's what is expected at a hotel bar. There is a bit of an initial push to upsell you on higher shelf alcohol etc but when we declined to upgrade further the server wasn't pushy about it at all. The servers were excellent and the view from the pool is AMAZING. We will definitely be back.

    Loved the vibes here. Perfect for friends get together. Great view amazing service. However, they don't have much bites options.

    We came here for drinks just before sunset and it was lovely. There are lots of places to sit, fire pits, and heat lamps which provides for a nice atmosphere and comfort especial as it gets cooler. I had a bourbon based slushie-type drink that was delicious. The views are fantastic especially as the sun sets. This is a good place to come for happy hour or sunset drinks or to bring a friend visiting.

    This new location is priceless...I went to an event at LAYOVER 4th floor view bar at the new downtown Hotel Intercontinental.... and so glad I we did, I would simply love to stop by this venue for a cocktail to watch the sunset any of the perfect 365 evenings in our beautiful city...who knew? A view to the west t be sure, but the pool, the skyline to the easy, the architecture all around, GO NOW! You will not be disappointed! Fire pits, views and flawless service!

From the top,…read moreyou can enjoy views of both the waterfront side and the downtown skyline, and honestly the scenery alone makes it worth visiting. To get inside, you have to go through the hotel entrance and then take the elevator to the top floor. There was no issue going up or down, and everything moved rather quickly considering we visited on a Friday night. Up top it was a little crowded near the edges where everyone was taking photos, but people moved around pretty quickly so it was still easy to get some really good pictures from the rooftop. I didn't order any drinks, so this review is based solely on the location and the views, but once you're up there it's just absolutely beautiful. We stayed for about 20 minutes, enjoyed the views, took in the atmosphere, and then headed out. Definitely worth checking out if you're in San Diego.

Our group was surprised as is was 2115, it's been open for about an hour and a half and packed. As you enter this old law office down a staircase one would find the "speakeasy statutes/rules" to maintain the 1920s atmosphere-- we loved the setting, the people, the drinks, and of course the live music!! One would not be disappointed. The cocktail menu was on an old record, which I thought it was so clever. Back to the rules, seems pretty easy! They mention to keep an open mind with the drinks as they do not carry vodkas, redbull, Budweiser or bulls**t. Mentioned a dresscode, more so be classic and states be respectful and don't be a di*k. I couldn't agree more with the rules. I don't think there is good at this establishment, as our group just came from dinner I wasn't looking for food. Just spirits, live music and a good time. Highly recommend if you are looking for live music and uniquely crafted cocktails.

Multiple bystanders witnessed his behavior but failed to intervene, assuming it was just "relationship drama" After the man finally left, the venue's security completely misread the situation. Instead of checking on my well-being or ensuring the aggressor had left the premises, security targeted and chased me as if I were the problem. It is incredibly disappointing and dangerous for a business's security team to lack the basic situational awareness and training required to identify the actual victim in a situation. I felt entirely unprotected by the staff here. I hope management takes this as a serious sign that their security team needs immediate retraining on bystander intervention and de-escalation, rather than harassing women who are already in vulnerable situations.

The vibe is immaculate: dim-lighting, wooden furniture, nice wallpaper, and dark curtains. Cute but very overpriced vinyl shop in the back, it's more for show. It gets insanely busy here every night. There will always be a wait after 9 PM. Wait isn't long, but it's essential as it gets PACKED inside. Seating is always full and people will throw hands for a table. There is minimal room to stand. Unfortunately, there is NO DANCEFLOOR :,( The bar lines are INSANE and can be hard to follow. But the bartneders are patient and helpful when it's finally your turn. While I warn about the crowds, this place is awesome. 10/10 one of the best spots in San Diego, the staple of North Park.

But you have to be patient as they are often quite busy. The record store and records theme is what they present online but to be honest that is only a minute section of the establishment. It definitely doesn't describe the theme of the place neither. The worker in the record section simply ignored me when I tried to purchase a record and after a minute I had to ask for him to please ring me up. No apology from him. No biggie, I still had a decent time drinking here.

That kind of attentive service right there set the tone for the whole visit! The mai tais are absolutely delicious.

Once inside seating is first come first served so the place is insanely crowded with people trying to get drinks. Service is a little confusing as the waiters will come up to you with a menu asking for your order instead of an order at the bar type of thing. Once we actually got a seat things were okay. The menu is mostly rum drinks since this is a rum bar however since I'm not the biggest fan I ordered the only thing with tequila on the menu. My drink was actually really good, it was refreshing, not too sweet or strong at all. I just wish there would be more variety.
