Coasterra happy hour tips
Monday-Friday, 3:30pm-5:30pm, tequila lounge and patio only: arrive by 3:15 to snag waterfront seats before the crowd builds.
Every dish is $11—and portions are big: favorites include the crispy calamari, ceviche clásico, mini chicken tinga tostadas, and bacon-wrapped jalapeños.
Sip $11 signature cocktails with a view: Deb’s Coconut Margarita and Aztec Gold are fan favorites, both well-balanced and photo-worthy.
Plan for valet or self-park early: there's ample self-parking before 5:00pm, with valet available during peak hours, especially at sunset.
It’s a happy hour with event-level views: locals love the skyline, bay breeze, and fire pits, which make it feel like a resort experience rather than a weekday special.
Book a reservation, if possible: despite being a lounge-based happy hour, reservations are recommended through OpenTable—especially for groups or waterfront tables.

Coasterra Happy Hourista review

CONTRIBUTOR
Happy hour at Coasterra captures San Diego at its most refined. Set along the edge of Harbor Island, the restaurant overlooks the bay and skyline, where the late afternoon light drifts from gold to rose as evening settles in. The space feels effortlessly elegant, with sleek lines, fire pits flickering by the water, and a calm energy that invites you to linger. The cocktails are as polished as the view. Deb’s Coconut Margarita is the signature, smooth and tropical with just enough citrus to stay bright. For a touch of adventure, the hibiscus and tamarind margaritas layer spice and sweetness in perfect balance. Plates are meant to share but crafted with intention. The tableside guacamole is fresh and fragrant, the ceviche sings with citrus and sea salt, and the calamari arrives crisp and golden. Every bite feels light, coastal, and carefully composed. Coasterra turns a simple happy hour into something memorable: a quiet celebration of place, flavor, and the art of slowing down.
