Editorial Review of
Whaling Bar and Grill
This classic social den and California favorite takes on the unique charms of La Jolla lifestyle. The Whaling Bar & Grill opened in the early 1950′s and immediately became, then as now, a favorite of La Jolla locals and travelers alike. Unique harpoons and pewter candleholders create the feeling of an old-world seaside pub, yet it’s accentuated by deep red leather banquettes, mahogany bar and paneling, lanterns, and antique wooden shutters. Featuring traditional Continental Cuisine with an emphasis on grilled steaks and seafood with a Southern California twist, many items on the menu are prepared tableside. Don’t leave without trying The Whaler, the house specialty drink, a creamy concoction whose ingredients are a closely guarded secret.
