Normally known for its elegant atmosphere and fine-dining, Jack's La Jolla is highly regarded throughout all of San Diego County.

Yet Jack's is not your regular run-of-the-mill San Diego restaurant, as the venue itself is built like a lofty wedding cake and now boasts five delectable lounges and three delicious restaurants that lay among the many levels of this one establishment.

Take in the evening air with cocktails and appetizers near the fire on the ground level, relax with a flight from Jack's extensive wine list in the Wine Bar or listen to the live tunes of the Piano Bar with a scotch on the rocks. As not enough already, Jack's recently added another tier to the tower as Jack's Third Level, which includes a new bar and lounge, and is now fully open for indulgence.

The Beach Bar, a highlight of Jack's outstanding Ocean Lounge, features a spacious bar with ocean views and a hearty happy hour from 3:30 to 6pm. When the sun sets, Jack's Ocean Lounge heats up the night; complete with live music and DJs, a dance floor, and multiple luxe lounge areas that provide bottle service to the big spenders.

If you want to get away from it all, sneak off to any of Jack's multiple outdoor areas for a breath of fresh air or simply take in the views offered by Jack's open air courtyard. And no need to worry if the weather starts acting up, Jack's has a retractable roof so the merrymaking can continue on rain or shine. From happy hour to high class, day or night, Jack's has a little something for everyone. Even those on a budget can celebrate in style, but be minded, Jack's is the type of place you look forward to getting a little jazzed up for.

Insider's Tip: Jack's La Jolla puts on a show every night of the week. But Thursdays are becoming the new Fridays on Girard, as Jack's serves it up each week with DJ action and dancing in the Wall Street bar (pictured).
