Hidden Hot Spots

It's easy to pass by on the street, but this hidden gem is truly one of Pacific Beach's best finds. Peer in past the ivy-covered walls and ask for a seat by the outdoor fireplace.

It's hard to miss the Hotel La Jolla on the way to one of the city's most popular beaches, but it's swanky lounge and restaurant up on the top floor is harder to find. It's worth a look, though, with a panoramic view of La Jolla shores and killer cocktail list.
