About

Nicky Rottens Bar & Burger Joint in Coronado occupies a restored 1926-era brick building at 100 Orange Avenue, one block from the Coronado Ferry Landing at the corner of First Street. The kitchen hand-presses every burger from Grade A corn-fed Midwestern beef and slices organic vegetables fresh each morning, building sauces in-house alongside the craft beer scene that includes Coronado Brewing Company up the avenue. Established in 2010, the sports bar fills nearly twenty 75-inch flat-screen TVs across the restored brick interior, making it the primary game-day destination on Coronado Island for NFL, NBA, and UFC broadcasts. The bayfront patio — where leashed dogs are welcome — faces the San Diego skyline across the water, and the All American Cheese Burger and Bourbon BBQ Burger compete in a burger corridor on Orange Avenue that includes the grass-fed patties at Burger Lounge eight blocks south. Signature items include hand-battered chicken fritters and loaded tater tots served on cast-iron platters with proprietary dipping sauces rotated seasonally.
