Looking for a Memorial Day Weekend plan that checks every box — brunch, music, drinks, sun, and a rooftop pool? Then your destination is clear: The Pool House in the Gaslamp Quarter.

● Rooftop brunch

● Frozen cocktails

● High-energy DJ sets

● Bottle service

● Poolside lounging

● VIP cabanas

Here’s your step-by-step rooftop game plan for a perfect Memorial Day Sunday in downtown San Diego.

11:00 AM – Kick Off with Rooftop Brunch & Mimosas

Start your day with a skyline brunch under the sun.

What to order:

● Brunch boards with sliders, fries, and fresh fruit

● Tuna poke nachos
