A nice little hotel bar. Wonderful liquor selection, only had 4 craft beer options. I got a free drink just for staying in the hotel. Had a lager which was pretty tasty. Two bartenders make the night go by smoothly. Highly recommend this hotel too.

Great hotel bar, nice selection, friendly service.

I will say the service needs to pick up, I was surprised that it took 30 minutes for our group of 11 to get drinks, half of which were beers.

During my visit to San Diego, I had the opportunity to dine at The Guild bar a few times and always had a great experience. Their breakfast starts at 7 AM, which might not be convenient for hotel guests with early morning meetings. However, if you can wait, the breakfast menu is totally worth it. My favorite breakfast dish was the avocado toast, which I enjoyed with prosciutto and a cup of coffee. The microgreens with grape tomatoes complemented the avocado on sourdough perfectly.

In the evening, I had the chance to grab a few drinks. The bartending staff is super friendly and makes great drinks. This full bar gets busy during the mid-evening, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere.

Overall, my experience at The Guild bar was fantastic. It is highly recommended, especially if you are staying at the hotel.

Good looks great but tastes OK. Steak frites served on fries, which are on top of salad and caked in peppercorn sauce. Felt more like eating steak with poutine and crushed soggy salad rather than fries and greens. Crab cakes came fried without indication of being fried on the menu. That is a major thing that should be mentioned as you don’t expect crab cakes that way. Portions are healthy size for the price and no complaints on service. Seating was weird with some tables having seats at different heights. Service was acceptable but not great, didn’t have any issues that others seem to.

Cocktails get an A for creativity and presentation and a C for execution and taste.

Fine if you don’t want to leave the hotel for dinner but would not suggest otherwise.

Unenthused Bartender. I wiped the counter down as she sat a couple menus down on unwiped area.
I engaged her in conversation , she was friendly , just seemed not into it or perhaps a bad day.
Just a cold beer and on out of here.

We happened to be there for an early Valentine's dinner and it was a wonderful experience. The courtyard is so lovely to sit. The food from Chef Carlo Guardado was, as always, outstandingly delicious. Service staff was very friendly and the whole ambiance was great. It was absolutely worth the drive and the money. We'll go back soon.
