The Pocket at the Alila Marea Beach Resort in Encinitas's Leucadia operates an ocean-view bar and lounge on the bluffs above Ponto State Beach at 2100 North Coast Highway 101. The poolside menu builds around Baja-inflected casual fare — sunset ceviche, poke bowls, fish tacos, and a half-pound Classic Burger — paired with craft cocktails that include the house-signature Antidote, a format distinct from the tiki-bar program at The Shanty in Old Encinitas. Fireside seating near the bluff's edge overlooks the Pacific, and the lounge requires reservations for non-resort guests with a 21-and-over policy after sundown. The 130-room Alila Marea resort, part of the Hyatt Hotels chain, also houses the full-service VAGA Restaurant & Bar and a Coffee Box café on the same property. Chicharrones and chips with house salsa anchor the snack menu, served alongside craft cocktails built with fresh-squeezed citrus and small-batch spirits on a twenty-seat outdoor bar.
