SAN DIEGO, July 18 /PRNewswire/ -- ALTITUDE Skybar and Garden Lounge, the highest open-air entertainment venue in Downtown San Diego, has ranked first on Sunset magazine's Top 10 Rooftop Bars list outpacing other rooftop bars in the Western United States. The ranking is yet another accolade favoring the popular venue located adjacent to PETCO Park, home of the Padres baseball team, and overlooking San Diego Bay.

"Since it's opening, ALTITUDE has been a favorite of San Diego residents and visitors alike," said Reggie Parks, general manager of food and beverage operations for ALTITUDE. "It's been hailed as one of the best Downtown bars by the locals and one of the hottest bars in the world by Conde Nast Traveler." The magazine featured ALTITUDE in its 2006 Hot List issue.

"What an honor for ALTITUDE to top the list of rooftop venues in the region and rank favorably against the likes of The Standard in Los Angeles, Medjool in San Francisco, and El Cielo in Santa Barbara," said Parks. "We're thrilled to receive this recognition, and are grateful to Sunset magazine for taking the time to review us."

At 22 stories high, ALTITUDE is the region's tallest open-air bar and boasts one of the city's best views overlooking PETCO Park, Coronado Bay Bridge and the glittering downtown skyline. Its cool and relaxing atmosphere that includes a giant fire-pit, state-of-the-art projection screens with plush and cozy daybeds under a stunning garden trellis makes it the ideal destination for locals, business professionals and travelers seeking to take pleasure from San Diego's perfect weather and laid-back lifestyle while enjoying signature cocktails and a nouveau California-style menu from its sister restaurant Soleil@k, located at ground-level of the San Diego Marriott Gaslamp Quarter.
