This was a surprise gem in San Diego! Staff are super attentive and helpful. Seats comfortable and loved the MC and fun introductions. The signage needs improvement… starting with the lobby and even elevators!

Love this place in houston and figured that I should try it also in San Diego and they don’t disappoint with consistency of a good time. Atmosphere is always beautiful! Excellent place to watch the sunset as you watch your movie. Popcorn is delicious and you get to experience the city lights in a safe place as you watch your movie. Recommend every time.

It's ok. They shut down the food and drink concessions 15 min after the movie starts and the restrooms are far from the seating area. Its cool to hang out outside but it gets pretty cold at night so bring a blanket. No heating lamps or anything for heat. I'd check it out again maybe

This was my first time coming here and although it rained on us, it was still a great space to enjoy on a Sunday night. I went to go see “Everything, Everywhere, All at Once“ which recently just swept the Oscars, and overall is a great film. Upon arrival, you’ll be given a wristband to enter and exit the rooftop space as well as blue tooth headphones to listen to the film. The venue is very large and complete with games, Instagram worthy corners and decor, a bar, and a concession stand. This is a great date night idea especially if watching movies together is your love language or if you really love the movie going experience now with a sunset backdrop. I deducted one star as I would love to see the space implement some inclement weather procedures such as umbrellas or maybe a few tents. They could even add hot chocolate and tea to the menu as it got super chilly. To help with the nightfall temperature drop they do offer blankets. Can’t wait to watch some other great films here and will definitely go on a sunnier day!

Went to see (500) Days of Summer for date night, and it was a lovely experience! We arrived about an hour early, had our pick of seats, and were able to sit and enjoy drinks, pre-show games and refreshments, before snuggling in to watch the movie. The sunset while the movie played, and it was a magical time.

FAQs

What is the age for screenings?

All screenings before 4:30pm are open to all ages. Screenings starting at 4:30pm or later are strictly 18+. **Please note our headphones are one size, so we recommend bringing children ages 5 and up to ensure they're able to tune into the film.

Is there food and drinks or do you bring-your-own?

At the box office, we offer an assortment of concessions including popcorn (vegan), candy and movie snacks. The Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego also provides a full bar for those looking to get their drink on at the Rooftop. In addition, the Hyatt offers a hot and cold food menu for our Matinee and Prime screenings as well as a select menu for our Midday and Late screenings.

Are dogs only allowed on wooftop screenings or can they come to any showing?

Generally, dogs are only welcome to designated Wooftop screenings. However, registered support animals are granted entrance at all times. We just ask that they wear their vests so that the on-site staff is aware.
