If you're looking for the perfect happy hour by the sea, look no further than **Vesuvio** in the charming Carmel-by-the-Sea! This rooftop bar is an absolute gem, offering breathtaking views and a delightful atmosphere.
Happy hour runs from **4 to 6 PM**, and they have a fantastic full menu alongside some select items just for this special time. I couldn't resist trying their **Fangool Pepperoni wood-fired pizza**, which was topped with hot honey, ranch, mozzarella cheese, and tomato sauce. It was seriously one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had—the crust was phenomenal!
The drink menu is just as enticing, featuring fun options like the **Purple Haze** and **Mamma's Boy**. I couldn't believe how refreshing and creative the cocktails were!
Parking was a breeze, as I found a spot right in front of the bar. The vibe on the rooftop is super cute and cozy, making it a perfect spot to unwind. Plus, the service was exceptional—friendly and attentive staff really added to the experience.
If you're in Carmel, I highly recommend stopping by Vesuvio. After happy hour, you can stroll through the delightful nearby town or relax in the park across the street. Can't wait to go back!

One of the best bars in Carmel. No food but you can take food in from any of the nearby restaurants. We love sitting at the bar and visiting with the friendly bartenders. They have a great view of the trees and it is fun to people watch from the bar. The bar is located above the Vesuvio Restaurant. Go through the restaurant and take the stairs up to the bar. There is also a rooftop bar there. Great place to watch the sunset.

A very cool rooftop bar with great vibes. Heaters and firepits, makes the place cozy even on colder nights. The pizzas are soooo delicious, thin crust with high quality toppings. The cocktails are strong and well made. The bar manager, Baylie, is fantastic! She makes the best cocktails and creates a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Definitely check this place out!
Great rooftop bar with plenty of heaters! Don’t worry, you won’t get cold. Their happy hour drinks and food are a fantastic deal and everything is well made.
