The Rooftop Lounge Happy Hour
Opens 11am
The Rooftop Lounge runs happy hour Mon–Fri 2–5pm, with draft beers from $7 and bites like fries for $5. It's a casual open-air lounge in downtown Laguna Beach with cocktails and relaxed drinks above the street. The elevated setting offers ocean views, making it a go-to for sunset drinks.
Downtown’s top-floor open-air rooftop bar, sitting above La Casa del Camino hotel on South Coast Highway. Direct ocean view from the elevated position — different format from the cliffside spots (more compressed sightline, but higher-up and with the downtown coastline laid out below). The HH cocktail menu is shorter and pricier than the downtown average ($10–$14) but the food specials are competitive ($10–$14 small plates with a Mediterranean-leaning focus). The patio fills early on summer Fridays — the rooftop has limited capacity and there’s no overflow space. Sunset on a clear evening is the destination experience; the venue dims its house lights to keep the view sharp.
