Salt Air's Happy Hour menu is a tantalizing mix of classic cocktails, local craft beers, and an extensive wine list, all at irresistible prices. Quench your thirst with a crisp, cold draft beer from local favorites like Ballast Point or AleSmith, or indulge in a handcrafted cocktail like the Spicy Margarita or Cucumber Jalapeño Martini. For wine lovers, there's an enticing selection of reds, whites, and sparkling wines to choose from.

Signature Cocktails

  • Spicy Margarita: Tequila, lime, agave, and a hint of jalapeño for a kick.
  • Cucumber Jalapeño Martini: Vodka, cucumber, jalapeño, and a touch of simple syrup.
  • Watermelon Frosé: Rosé, watermelon, and a splash of lemon for a refreshing twist.

Bite-Sized Delights

No happy hour is complete without a tantalizing array of appetizers, and Salt Air delivers with a mouthwatering selection of small plates. Start with the Crispy Calamari, tender and lightly fried, served with a zesty aioli. The Ahi Tuna Nachos are a fan favorite, featuring crispy wontons topped with seared ahi, avocado, and a drizzle of spicy mayo. For something heartier, try the Salt Air Burger, a juicy half-pound patty served on a brioche bun with all the fixings.

While there are plenty of happy hour spots in San Diego, Salt Air stands out for several reasons. The beachfront location offers unparalleled views of the Pacific Ocean, with a spacious patio and indoor dining areas that capture the essence of coastal living. The menu is creative and well-crafted, with an emphasis on fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. And the service is friendly and attentive, ensuring that every guest feels welcome and well-cared for.
