A favorite with La Jolla locals, the Whaling Bar & Grill opened in the early 1950's and immediately became, then as now, the premier pub and meeting place. The feeling of an old-world seaside pub consumes the bar, with the décor consisting of dark red leather banquettes, a mahogany bar and paneling, unique harpoons, lanterns, pewter candleholders and antique wooden shutters.

The menu includes traditional Continental Cuisine with a Southern California twist, with many items being prepared tableside. The house specialty drink is The Whaler, a creamy concoction whose ingredients are a closely guarded secret.
