The vibe
A legendary La Jolla institution — The Whaling Bar at the iconic pink La Valencia Hotel reopened after an 11-year hiatus to reclaim its place as the village's most storied cocktail lounge. The 'Martini Hour' is a La Jolla rite of passage with ocean views from one of California's most storied historic hotels.
