An eminent elegance presides at The Whaling Bar & Grill within the La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla. Although newly remodeled, The Whaling?s simple, original decor recreates an old-world seaside tone. The rustic mural of The Whale?s Last Stand hanging above the bar overlooks deep black leather booths accented with dark red table cloths and authentic lampoon and lantern decor. Predominantly frequented by mature La Jolla residents and visitors, The Whaling Bar & Grill is a sophisticated setting for classic cocktails and gourmet cuisine.
