Location, location, location is the mantra of the hour, and yet Airport Lounge’s isolated moorings, in an errant district near Little Italy, have only enhanced the lustrous lounge’s popularity. After maintaining a guest-list only patronage during its first weeks open, the lounge opened its doors to San Diego’s most fashionable crowds, who in turn opened their hearts.
Outside, only a rotating arrow announces Airport Lounge’s existence. Inside, the décor is truly unique. Long and lean like an airplane’s cabin, color-changing, oblong windows are projected onto the lounge’s sleek white walls. Cocktail servers wear vintage stewardess uniforms, with go-go boots. Pricey drinks are best sipped out on the patio, where every five minutes or so, planes roar overhead and silence all conversations—a loud, yet enthrallingly unusual experience.
