The place is pretty cool. Very clean on the inside. Wonderful decor, a cool locale. Great location. Staff are pretty good. People who are at the bar will often be facing away from the bar to watch pool or the live music. The live music is likely to be a one Pedro, who is actually a talented musician. The pool table and various sofas take up a large area of the front room and the rear room is half occupied by these huge couches. Restrooms are clean. It's a cool place to check out.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a Night at the Marine Room Tavern!
I had an absolute blast at the Marine Room Tavern recently! The energy was off the charts—Radio Royalty was playing, and wow, they brought the house down! The band was incredible, delivering all the best 80's hits with non-stop energy and killer vocals. Seriously, they had the entire crowd dancing from start to finish. If you haven’t seen them yet, you’re missing out!
The place was packed—wall-to-wall with people. In fact, it was so popular that it ended up being standing room only, and they even had to turn folks away at the door! It’s always awesome to see a local spot buzzing like that.
The only downside? The line for drinks was pretty long, but honestly, with a band that good and a vibe that electric, it was totally worth the wait.
Big props to the Marine Room Tavern for hosting such an epic night and to Radio Royalty for absolutely crushing it! Looking forward to the next show! 🎶✨

Really lovely, traditional dark wood tavern, complete with a pool table and daily live music. Unfortunately, on the day of our visit, the show was cancelled.
The long, very attractive bar itself dominates the premises, although there are some other seating areas, including comfy leather sofas.
No food is served, although they have the biggest selection of liquors that I’ve ever seen. Also a good selection of craft beers.
Friendly staff and nice feel about the place; highly recommended.

We originally made dinner reservations at sunset but our table was back from the windows that overlooked the beach, so we canceled and got a table in the lounge that was right next to the window. We were shameless tourists taking lots of pictures of the beautiful sunset off La Jolla Shores. The cocktails are a little expensive but were excellent. Much attention to detail. It's the first time I've seen a dirty martini made with dirty ice, and they leave the shaker at the table. We ordered several small plates and they were delicious. We really liked the grilled octopus and also the chicken liver pate. Lily, our server, was excellent and very personable. I highly recommend the experience, especially if you can time the sunset.
