Driftwood Kitchen Happy Hour
Opens 5pm
Oceanfront seafood room at 619 Sleepy Hollow Ln in downtown Laguna, perched directly above the Pacific just north of Aliso Beach. Hand-cut steaks and hand-shucked oysters with ocean views from every seat. The Stateroom Bar runs cocktails right at the water's edge. California coastal menu, upscale but unfussy.
Driftwood Kitchen sits at 619 Sleepy Hollow Lane on a stretch of cliff that drops straight to the Pacific. The dining room is glass-walled with the closest table-to-water distance of any HH room in Laguna, under 50 feet to the surf line on a calm day. The Stateroom Bar runs the happy hour menu and is the more flexible seat for walk-ins. Hand-shucked oysters, hand-cut steaks, and a California coastal menu drive the dinner program, with seasonal ingredients shaping the rotation. The room reads upscale but unfussy: tablecloths and stemware, but a crowd that includes more shorts and flip-flops than you might expect for the price point. Reservations are recommended on Friday and Saturday and through summer weekends in general. Sunset arrivals between 5 and 6:30 pm catch the best light.
