Crazy Beautiful Pool spot with a fun Beautiful, and helpful staff! This pool has a cool beach club type vibe, with delicious drinks and cocktails and food. Gonna book a room at the Pendry next time I’m in SD just because of the atmosphere and experience here at The Pool House.

Ate lunch here while on a work trip. Midweek it wasn't busy at all and the service was great. We sat by the bar which overlooks the pool and we had a great time. Lunch prices weren't outrageous and the portions were generous. I would definitely go back again!

Came here for a nice, light happy hour and we got what we wanted! They were very accommodating to our one-year-old daughter and got her a high chair from a different restaurant. We were very pleased! The fish tacos were great, and I enjoyed my wine. Beautiful location, no cigarette smoke, and a perfect place to dine in the sun. Service was fast and friendly.

Casual Poolside Dining. Friendly Staff. Amazing Lobster Rolls. Nice Beer & Cocktail Selection. Comfortable Seating. Great Music.

My team and I chose this place for a lunch bite since we work off G Street. I’m so glad we did! I had the poke bowl with a side of chips. I also tried some of the fries off my friend’s plate -crispy and delicious btw. Highly recommend the poke bowl, it was fresh. Although I don’t eat chicken, the buffalo wrap my coworkers got looked delicious.

Where to even begin… we always stay at the pendry and always hung out at the pool house! I decided to have my bfs birthday weekend in San Diego. So I went ahead and booked a cabana. Mike helped set up everything and did amazing . Zack had took care of us since walking in along with our server/hostess Jennie. Both were very attentive and overall great customer service. Jennie even helped me pick out what to say on the marquee sign for one of the rounds of bottles we had brought out. The dj, the vibes, a packed pool house with all our friends, it was a weekend we won’t forget. The food was delicious and the mixed drinks we ordered on top of the bottles and mixers was great. I recommend getting a pitcher! Safe to say we will definitely be back! 10/10 for everything.

Great place to throw a party - has a pool, jacuzzi, cabanas, a spa, and a bar. Views from the terrace are somewhat obstructed by the taller surrounding buildings. Staff is nice and welcoming.

Struck San Diego on an overcast day in June so it wasn't busy. Had a great afternoon, staff were helpful and friendly, food was great and drinks fairly priced. I had luggage with me which they offered to store. Definitely put this on my list of places to come back on a sunny day
