Thursdays in college were a big deal. We weren’t living with our parents, so we could go wild on a school night! Now I usually spend my Thursdays at a casual dinner or working (meh). But last week I had a chance to get out of my rut and check out The Westgate Hotel’s poolside jazz series. Every Thursday this summer, the iconic hotel in downtown San Diego has been hosting local musicians on its luxurious rooftop alongside a menu of small plates, cocktails and wine. I went to last week’s concert with my friend, and it was like an oasis smack dab in the city.
A beautiful pool, breezy open-air seating, soothing music and golden hour hue that washes over the rooftop—I’m not going to lie: I loved feeling a little fancy on a Thursday. I got to dress up, throw back a (virgin) cocktail and listen to local talent in a while watching the sun set. Yes, we may have been the youngest people there, but hey, 20- and 30-somethings in San Diego, this is such a refreshing change of pace from the typical bar scene. The event is free with a $20 food and beverage minimum and runs through the end of the month September [updated]. Take a look:
