Understory

Understory, the resident cocktail bar inside The SkyDeck at Del Mar Highlands Town Center, aims to elevate your craft cocktail adventure. Named for the area between the main forest canopy and the forest floor, the innovative creations on the cocktail menu evoke the denizens of the ecosystem, like the Satanic Nightjar, with Ford’s London Dry Gin, turmeric, ginger, chili, tamarind, lemongrass, mint, and club bubbles, or The Black Back Puffback, a cherrywood-smoked cocktail with Cazadores Cristalino Tequila, Verde Mezcal, lime, agave, and cinnamon. Classic cocktails, crafted mocktails, and a well-rounded wine list ensure there’s something for everyone.
