The Landings Gastropub is not your typical airport restaurant or bar. 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.

Please note: For Friday and Saturday concert nights, we enforce a $30/person minimum to cover the cost of the bands.

    It was not a crowded place because it was a Wednesday and it was 5 pm so happy hour was amazing!! My hubby had a chilli dog and I had a fish taco and we shared a very large pretzel. I had some yummy Cabernet and he had a margarita!! It was nice and pleasant!! Great prices and great food!! It also has expanded on the patio seating since we have been there last. Great place

    Always great to catch music and decent food that’s reasonably priced. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere of boomers and GenX’ers dancing the night away from songs from days gone by under the moonlight does it for us every time!

    This place is pretty cool. The food was really good and the margaritas were d-lish! We sat outside on the patio where they had a live band playing some great dance music. We had a great time and will definitely be going back.

    Ambience was unique and inviting. Service was attentive. Food was mediocre at best. Lobster Roll and Fish & Chips were better than Grilled Chicken Sandwich (overcooked and dry) and Crab Cake Benedict (very bland).

    Nice brunch and great music starting at 11:00 a.m. just a little bit too loud to converse during the music but other than that a great morning!

    Horacio is an exceptional server and got all of our special requests correct. It was an evening with live music on the patio so quite busy. Food was good and the ambience was nice on the cold evening.

    Valerie is a fantastic server! I sure hope she’s there after the temporary shut down that ends in November!
