I visited the Del Coronado hotel on Thanksgiving day and it was a beautiful experience, nicely complemented by the food at Babcock! We tried the Bavarian pretzel and the veggie pizza (more like foccachia bread), both were good for a quick evening bite. The restaurant is located inside the hotel lobby and has a great holiday vibe with live music and lights!!

The Baseline: For a in hotel restaurant lounge it must have a good drink menu, excellent appetizers, and a stellar staff to bring out the experience.
Food: The food is good here but it is good food for a hotel bar lounge. I had the Meatball Sandwich, the pork chicharron, and the Caesar Salad. The meatball sandwich was good and substantial and it came with the house made kettle chips. All around good. The chicken Caesar salad was huge and phenomenal (highly suggest this). The pork chicharron was skin and no fat with a verde dipping salsa so I appreciated the crispy treat. The only ding is the prices, but you are at the Hotel del Coronado so you are paying for location in the price.
Service: Top notch service from our waiter. Full water glasses and fast, efficient service. No complaints.
Ambiance: Bar lounge in the historic Hotel del Coronado with open doors bringing in the San Diego bay sea breezes from the Pacific Ocean. On a summer day it makes for an incredible experience. Great atmosphere and place to hang out.

First off, incredible location and view. Great people watching and over chilling by the beach spot. I highly recommend checking Babcock out. It was super fun to have live music. Food was pretty good and servers were hustling but overall slow bar and kitchen. That said the atmosphere out shines the slowness.

Such an ugly space – who thought this was a good idea for a luxury hotel? It’s all tv’s. The floor looks like it belongs in a restroom. The lighting is awful. The furniture is super ugly. The lack of fabrics makes the whole space super loud with echoes. The drink we ordered was well made but we ended up taking it up to the verandah which was much nicer. They should just have some waiters roaming the lobby areas for guests who don’t want to sit in a loud sports bar.
When it’s raining this is pretty much the only option at the hotel, unfortunately.

We were staying at the shore house for the weekend and we explored all the restaurants in the main hotel Dell Coronado area. We came upon this place and the atmosphere was super fun! It’s got an old-fashioned vibe and it’s open to the outside, but you can also sit at the bar and inside. The drinks were fantastic, the service was great, and the food was delicious. However … When they are serving a $26 Old fashioned, and their burgers are as expensive as they are, they darn well better be delicious. Lol be prepared to pay a lot for this historic hotels atmosphere!

I love the classic feel of this bar, and what a perfect location: almost right on the beach. Great history, too. The drinks are spendy and small, so be prepared for that. I got the blood sage smash, which was refreshing and perfect. My parents got Moscow mules, and they were terrible – the ginger beer tasted flat. I didn’t know you could have a terrible Moscow mule. It was tough to get service at first, but our server was very nice once we got going.

Fun little bar to grab light bites and a drink while enjoying the hotel property. The service was a tad slow, but overall I had a good experience. The pretzel bites were super yummy!

Good for small bites. But the cocktails are on key. Full bar so you can order other drinks not on the menu. Perfect for sitting down and sipping on a cocktail while people watching.

Located in the Hotel del Coronado, this establishment has wonderful views and neat decor. The menu is somewhat limited, and the food was above average.

Lovely place in the historic Coranado Hotel. The sliders were great and so was the Baileys coffee. The mahogany vintage bar and bar top were classic.
