Posted on June 25, 2024 by cassidy

There are a few different brunch spots in downtown San Diego but after extensive research (tough job, I know) these are the best deals we've found. These three places have brunch on Saturday and Sunday and we recommend getting there early to beat the crowds and maybe even get your money's worth in Bottomless.

The Nolen San Diego, CA

1. The Nolen
A beautiful rooftop overlooking downtown San Diego with views of the Coronado bay can only be topped by adding a bottomless mimosa brunch. The Nolen checks all those boxes plus some amazing food. Make sure to try their French Toast or Pulled Pork Benedict.

Days: Saturday and Sunday
Happy Hour: 10:00 AM - 02:00 PM
Special: $30 Bottomless Mimosa Brunch

Saint James French Diner San Diego, CA
2. Saint James French Diner
One of the newer brunch spots downtown, this French-inspired diner boasts an incredible Happy Hour menu (you can view at the link below) but we're covering their bottomless-mimosas deal here. Pair that with their Croque Madame or Steak and Eggs and you've got a great start to your day.

Days: Saturday and Sunday

barleymash San Diego, CA
3. barleymash
A San Diego staple that I'm sure every tourist has been to, I bet you didn't know they had a brunch deal (I didn't either). We're covering them because they have a delicious brunch with beer and bourbon infused flavors, and now champagne deals to go with it. They're known for their barleyhash or try their Brown Ale Biscuits and Gravy, then venture out to Gaslamp to continue your weekend.

Days: Saturday and Sunday
Happy Hour: 10:00 AM - 01:00 PM
Special: $35 House Champagne or Sparkling Rose Bottle

Location: 600 Fifth Ave, San Diego, CA 92101
