The Landings is not your typical airport restaurant or bar. As the recipient of the acclaimed Yelp Diner's Choice Award, we pride ourselves on our focus on quality, service, creativity and atmosphere. Everything from our unique cocktails to our pub-inspired menu and carefully curated craft beer list are locally-sourced and of the highest quality. Both our dining room and large patio have a panoramic view of the Palomar Airport runway. Bring the family, enjoy a cocktail and watch the planes come and go.

We accept reservations for groups up to 8 people. Please call for larger parties.

    Pretty good fish and chips. Chicken sandwich had the thinnest bit of chicken I’ve ever seen. Pleasant live music on a beautiful sunny day.

    We went to Landings to see band: Custard Pie, who did Led Zep and Stones tribute. The band was lots of fun, and all the musicians were talented and entertaining. This club's dance floor really rocks! There are a good amount of nice people and good looking women. People seem to come here to really have a good time! We sure did. We kept saying, if the band plays a song we don't like we will leave, but the band never played any songs we didn't love. Would go see them again.

    Not that great with the expetation of $30 per person and the food is sub-standard. Tacos were awful. Onion rings were served - cold. Weak service, couldn’t get refills or sauces- - not returning with a reservation!
