Cannonball

There might be nowhere better to people-watch in San Diego than on Cannonball’s rooftop. Located right behind Belmont Park, Cannonball is on Ocean Front Walk, allowing you to scan the hordes of tourists that crowd Mission Beach on any given weekend. Weekday happy hour starts at a reasonable 2 pm, plus, it serves up some delicious sushi. And who doesn’t love crushing beachside sushi?

Cannonball’s bar has a stellar view of the beach and some of the best people watching in San Diego with the crowds that populate Ocean Front Walk. Sushi rolls, sashimi, oysters, and crab legs dominate the menu, or chow down on a big Cannonball Burrito with shrimp tempura, crab, tuna, avocado, cream cheese, cucumber, cilantro, green onions, and spicy mayo in a sesame soy wrap. The beverage menu features a handful of classic cocktails with beach-inspired ingredients, like the Mission Beach Mai Tai with white rum, pineapple, orange juice, and dark rum, local draft beers, seltzers, plenty of wine by the glass or bottle, as well as sake and Japanese whisky.
How to book: Rooftop seats are available on a first-come basis.
