Fifth & Rose Review
Stepping into Fifth & Rose feels like being invited into a stylish host’s living room where every detail has been thoughtfully arranged to encourage conversation and lingering. The room’s palette of black and white is warmed by rich stone accents and pops of crimson, while candles and fresh roses on the tables add a quietly luxurious, intimate touch. It’s the kind of bar that balances elegance with comfort—chic enough for a special night out, comfortable enough for a relaxed drink after work. (pendry.com)
The service matches the setting: attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the cocktail list, and happy to make suggestions whether you’re in the mood for a classic or something more inventive. Seating feels intentionally varied—bar stools for people-watching, low tables for tête-à-têtes, and corners that invite longer conversations. For anyone who appreciates a well-curated ambiance, Fifth & Rose reads like a love letter to the traditional cocktail lounge updated for a modern San Diego crowd. (pendry.com)
Cocktails are central here, and the menu reflects that focus. While you’ll find familiar staples done well, the menu also highlights seasonal and signature creations crafted by experienced mixologists. Bar fare complements the drinks without competing—small plates designed to be shared, perfect for nibbling between sips. There’s also a full dinner menu and a selection of beer and wine for those who prefer something simpler, so the bar functions equally well as a pre-theater stop, a casual dinner spot, or a late-night destination.

One of Fifth & Rose’s standout offerings is their Boozy Tea—a playful, elevated take on afternoon tea that pairs tea-inspired cocktails with sweet and savory bites. Regular Boozy Tea is served on weekends in the early afternoon, and during the holiday season they feature a special Holiday Boozy Tea with a festive menu; the published price for the service was listed at $78 per person on the site. It’s a fun, slightly decadent experience that’s ideal for groups, celebrations, or anyone looking for something a little different from the usual brunch or happy hour. (pendry.com)
For whisky lovers, Fifth & Rose hosts curated tastings—including a High West Whiskey Tasting—that guide guests through several pours and end with a crafted Old Fashioned or Manhattan. These kinds of events underline the bar’s commitment to both education and enjoyment: you leave having tasted something new and with a greater appreciation for how cocktails are built. (pendry.com)
Practical details are straightforward: Fifth & Rose is located at 550 J Street in downtown San Diego, and the hotel’s information lists phone and reservation options for planning a visit. The posted hours accommodate both early weekend lunches and late-night drinks on weekends, making it a flexible option no matter when your evening starts. If you’re planning a special occasion or a weekend afternoon treat, reservations are recommended. (pendry.com)
In short, Fifth & Rose is a polished but approachable cocktail bar that delivers on atmosphere, drinks, and thoughtful service. Whether you’re stopping by for a creative cocktail, a leisurely Boozy Tea, or a guided whiskey tasting, it’s a welcome addition to San Diego’s hospitality scene and a spot worth returning to again and again.
