5 /5 Todd Johnson: The Rooftop Bar
Perfectly positioned between N Pacific and Myers, with the Oceanside Pier front and center, this is an absolutely stunning, memory-making experience.
From the moment you arrive, everything feels intentional — the warm welcome from the staff, the iconic “LOVE” Instagram moment, and the beautiful Hyatt lobby set the tone. The concierge greeting was genuine, welcoming, and inviting.
While the million-dollar sunset, excellent appetizers, and well-paired cocktails were all highlights, the true standout of the evening was the service.
I’ve traveled the world, and great experiences always come down to service — and Devion absolutely knocked it out of the park. She was incredibly helpful with drink and food recommendations, thoughtful enough to bring blankets for our elderly guests, and brought a constant smile, humor, and clear passion for what she does. That level of care is what made the night memorable for everyone.
The vibe was lively and upbeat, with a great mix of music and energy. On my next visit, I’m looking forward to spending time at the inside bar, which looked fun and full of an interesting mix of people.
If you’re within 20 miles, this place is absolutely worth the drive.
