Noble Experiment

We stumbled into Noble experiment looking for another bar entirely. Those of you who know the Bar attached to Noble experiment will know which bar I’m talking about. We were here for the artificial intelligence conference, and it was fun to watch all of our fellow nerdbos navigate the bar scene. (See the funny photo of the exterior, I’m the one woman standing outside). On to the review I really really enjoyed the SPECIALITY cocktails they offered. And our bartender was wonderful. However, Some of the standard drinks that we asked for felt like they were meh, not excellent. Hence the four stars. But all of their special drinks were really quite good. In other words, the old-fashioned was a little bit blah, but my disgruntled Mai Thai which was one of their specials, was really quite good! I love the fact that they actually turned the underberg bottle upside down on it (you can see in the video the bartender was a little nervous)! He was in great spirits and was fun. The other reason I’m giving four stars is that although our bartender was excellent, some of the other bartenders seem to be a little less in high spirits. At some point, I found somebody’s cell phone in the bathroom, and returned it to the bar, and they seemed aggravated…with…me. Speaking of the bathroom, it’s quite lovely, and they had bidet-style toilet! But, that was one of the other issues. I waited outside of the bathroom for what seemed an eternity, to the point where I was wondering if both bathrooms had somebody pass out in them. Perhaps people were playing with the toilet. I remember my first bidet-style toilet, they are a lot of fun! But I love the bathroom door handle shaped like a hand; that sounds silly, but it really was beautiful. (See photo). Would we come back? Perhaps. But there’s so many wonderful bar offerings in San Diego, that we may rotate this one at the bottom of our list for now.
