The Nolen Rooftop, Rooftop bar and terrace in downtown San Diego, United States.
The Nolen Rooftop sits on the 14th floor of the Courtyard San Diego Gaslamp Convention Center with views of Petco Park, Coronado Bridge, and the downtown skyline from an open-air terrace. The space features an outdoor bar, fire pits, and seating arranged to frame views of the bay and city profile.
The venue takes its name from John Nolen, an influential landscape architect who shaped San Diego's urban planning in the early 20th century. This naming reflects the city's commitment to thoughtful design and growth.
The rooftop draws people gathering before Petco Park games, and the cocktail menu celebrates California's food traditions with tropical flavors like passion fruit and dragon fruit. This mixing of sports culture and craft drinks creates the venue's social rhythm.
The rooftop opens at 4 pm on weekdays and at 10 am on Sundays, with extended hours later in the evening on weekends. Guests must be 21 or older to enter after 8 pm.
The rooftop offers unobstructed 360-degree views of the harbor and city skyline, setting it apart from other vantage points in the area. Large fire pits make it an inviting spot to linger while gazing out over the water and buildings.
