Understory Bar

“My girlfriends and I went to Skydeck and stopped here for cocktails to start our night. The bartender was super friendly and tentative to helping us pick our drinks. This is a really great spot for a date night or just hang out with the girls. Skydeck generally is a really fun spot to go, for our drinks or food. And this is a great place to start!”

“Very cute bar with great branding, beautiful ambiance and delicious cocktails with unusual presentation. Great spot for dates and to bring visitors from out of town. It’s inside of my favorite SkyDeck, so you can have dinner at one of the restaurants here and then stop by this bar for a drink. I appreciate the creativity of the cocktail titles and the overall vibe. The service is also great. It’s called Understory, like the hidden part of the forest where the insets and small animals live their live, so most of the cocktails are themed accordingly.”

“One of our favorite bars in San Diego, and this is probably the newest one. We really enjoy the beautiful open space in sky deck with beautiful decorations. This bar makes real good drinks, like a speak easy style. The bartenders here are very professional and friendly. Even I just want to have a classic aperol spritz, they make it super perfect. This is definitely a regular bar we will come to drink.”

“Service can be slow at the booths compared to the Bar, but the ambience is beautiful, Dj is a great touch on friday night.Ramen was delicious. love that you can order from multiple spots from understory.. My mom wished for better wheat beer options.. and happy hour to be 9pm not 10 pm. lol”

“I’ve been here several times, and while the staff can be busy and sometimes take a while to attend to you, they have generally been friendly. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case during my recent visit. We arrived, got our drinks, and didn’t see our server again until she handed us the checks, which was within an hour of our first drinks. It definitely made us feel like we were being rushed out. I was actually planning to order another drink, but she never came back to check if we needed anything or wanted another round before dropping the bill, which we hadn’t asked for. We ended up leaving and going upstairs for beers instead.”
