Noble Experiment San Diego

I was so so excited to come here. The atmosphere is so cool. The giant skull wall, Paintings on the ceiling, and wax dripping chandeliers are all stunning. We waited an hour to get in but we didn’t have a reservation so that’s totally understandable. Im surprised we got in at all. We got food at the neighborhood while we waited it was perfect timing and highly recommend. The entrance is so cool. The entire vibe and experience itself is great. I loved how the bartenders came up and asked for drink profiles it felt very intimate and specific to our needs at 1st…it did take 25 plus minutes for them to come over to us and then another 20 plus to get the drinks at least but it was busy so I kinda expected that. I realized after we got the drinks that all of our drinks were just classic cocktails. The drinks were simple but they did taste good. I was a little under whelmed with the cocktails if I’m being completely honest. I am a bartender and I could have made all the drinks we had. They were not unique to the bar, they were classics that anyone can get at any somewhat decent cocktial bar. That being said they did a really good job showcasing the classics, I just was expecting them to have an actual cocktail menu or something that was unique in that regard. Also we hardly had time for 2 rounds before they make you settle up so more people can come in, it felt a little rushed due to it taking so long for them to get our 1st round going. I’m still gonna leave 5 stars because the experience overall was fun and I recommend it. It’s worth it for the aesthetic alone.
