Didn't like the taste of their cocktails that much but they looked good. The Scotch were much better.
Place was intimate with a lively atmosphere. If room is tight there's seating in Pendry, which is where the restrooms are.
If coming from the harbor, this would be a nice place to kick it off before heading farther down Fifth. And again on the way back.

I decided to stop in here because of the featured photo on Google. The picture was of the Mad Hatter cocktail, which is an egg white cocktail with an Earl Grey infused vodka (if my memory serves me correctly). Well sadly it was not available, BUT that's actually good news it means this place has a dynamic cocktail menu!
The team every season comes up with new cocktails which gets funnelled into the menu. You can see below the drink name the bartender that designed the cocktail. To me this is a key indicator of a good establishment.
The bartenders here are fantastic. Josh and Brennon were originally my bartenders. They are able to basically make you anything, one of the few places that knew what a clover club was without me having to explain. They have a fantastic cocktail list, but sadly I was craving an egg white so I had to go off script.
The atmosphere at fifth and rose is elegant yet modern. A very comfortable clean establishment that provides class. If you're into a craft cocktail Fifth & Rose is the place, in the Gaslamp District, you should stop into!

The Fifth and Rose is always a delight - and not what you would expect in this area of town, with all the typical beer and restos catering to the baseball crowd (I mean no offence, not what one would expect). Been coming to SD for visits, and something is refreshing hanging out here on a sunny day in the spring. The cocktails are simple and fit the mood and atmosphere of the interior and the freshness of the outdoor/indoor connection. The drink with Shiso could have been punchier (with more Shiso infusion). Recommend dropping in any time of day, but mainly early afternoon, for refreshment when it's not too busy - or late at night when the ambiance really shines.

Great place with really good cocktails. Each drink was created by someone who works there, so it's fun to order a drink from the person who created it ave task to them about it. Fancy place with good appetizers. Clean and the staff is really friendly.

Trevor the bartender is a gem. Friendly and very kind to all the costumers! And very good at his job making drinks. All the bartenders and bar backs this evening have been excellent actually.

This place has a nice ambiance in the evening. Not to loud and has that darkness, candlelight vibe. The drinks are pretty expensive, but tasty. Service could use a little more bumps in points however.

The drinks were great and service is excellent. The bartender even offered to get a drink from the restaurant across that I like. The ambiance is great as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone

This was the first stop on our lightning cocktail tour trip of San Diego. Located inside the luxurious Pendry hotel in the Gaslamp Quarter, Fifth & Rose is a fairly small and cozy bar with upscale food and some inventive drinks.
While we weren’t completely wowed by the drinks we had? They were of very good quality. The food was exceptional, though also pretty steeply prices.
All in all we had a great experience, in part because of the awesome service. Our bartender, Ariel, had great drinks suggestions, and took the time and effort to share his recommendations of other places to visit in San Diego, and it made Fifth & Rose a really great stop on and kick-off of our cocktail itinerary. Can definitely recommend.

Had a high tide and a sequoia red wine glass, 16 and 30 USD respectively, before taxes.
Yeah, expensive
Quality was good but service was slow.
Go there if you are around the surroundings.
But dont put thaaaat much effort

This bar has pre- and post- drop in bar written all over it. Small, boutique-style with a refreshing interior. In our case, a drop-in pre dinner for a drink (or two) and excellent hummus.

Ambience and service great! Their craft cocktail menu is very inventive and gives you a taste of the ingenuity of their staff! Welcome back San Diego! Glad to see this staff back at it!

Trendy spot with a fantastic drink menu. Met up for a business meeting and there were plenty of indoor and outdoor seating options at 5 pm to talk shop. Service was a little slow given how many people were working and how few people were there, but that’s a minor critique.

Super nice, fun bar. We sat outside with the fire pit in front of us and enjoyed the nice evening. The inside looked amazing from the bars to the bathrooms. One of the nicest bar bathrooms I’ve seen. The drinks were great, they had a great DJ playing and everything inside and out was very classy.

Interesting cocktails. Their brussel sprouts may be the best we've had. Nice atmosphere. Our waitress was attentive and helpful with suggestions. Tried 3 drinks and by far our favorite was Shadow Mere. The one with Japanese whisky was quite bitter which didn't suit our tastes.
