Four Reasons to Visit Nautilus Tavern in La Jolla, California
1. Drink Selection on Point - Specialty cocktails donning names like 'It's Noon Somewhere' and 'Escape From Alcatraz', up to 30 beers on tap and wine (bubbles, reds and whites). Bae had a bloody mary and I opted for ice water no lemon. But I did take a look see at the wine list and there were a few glasses on my list for next time.
Tip: Leave your budget friendly friends at home, the average beer cost is $8 and a nice glass of Cabernet Sauvignon will set you back $19. Or opt for the Happy Hour Monday-Friday 3p-6p and enjoy $2 off beer, wine and cocktails accompanied by $6 bites.
2. Ambiance - Upscale bar and grill hosting a casual, chill atmosphere featuring flat screen TV's throughout. Sports enthusiasts will no doubt have a good time, football season in full swing, beer on tap and delectable dishes. An expansive awe inspiring layout, large dining tables allow groups to get together with ease while the bar offering that close for comfort and ready to mingle setting. The combination of natural and artificial light exudes warmth and this will no doubt be a memorable experience.
3. The Smoked Cubano - My words can't even express how amazing our lunch tasted, I mean c'mon its a sandwich. Fresh ingredients, juicy ham, melt in your mouth shredded pork, Swiss cheese and dill pickle on toasted telera bread. Served with a side of crunchy tater tots dipped in creamy homemade ranch.

4. Interior Design - Modern coastal design with touches of rustic industrial magic. Open layout concept, warm tones inviting relaxation and that's exactly what we did!
Curb appeal sets the tone with a patio enclosed by wood succulent planters and a creative jute rope design adding nautical charm. Outdoor string lights suspend over glass topped wicker tables no doubt a romantic stage for evening dining. Don't worry they have outdoor heaters for a comfortable temp. and indoor seating is abundant.
The bar adds style with its minimal use of shelving and custom black iron U shaped beer tap system. Stools hug the gray concrete bar top with a wood plank base allowing out-of-town visitors and locals the opportunity to chat. Not in the mood to talk?!? No problem there are plenty of flat screen TVs and they even ask your preference on channel.
Brick walls and steel surfaces combined with wood exposed ceilings provide the perfect background for selfies...I'm just say'in.
