Tom Ham’s Lighthouse was built in 1971 by a man who was not afraid to put his name on his product. Rooted in warm welcomes & excellent food, Tom Ham made his lifelong dream a reality. Tom Ham’s Lighthouse is the only restaurant in the US to have a USCG operated & maintained Lighthouse attached to it. You can locate us on any modern nautical map as Beacon #9. Featuring a 100% responsibly resourced seafood menu & award winning Sunday Champagne Brunch, we are a must when it comes to the San Diego food scene. The dining room, purposely shaped like the state of California, allows for groups as grand as 50 yet private enough for a couple’s night out. Holiday brunches have been long time family traditions for many San Diegans. Start your family’s tradition this next holiday. With the best views of the Downtown City Skyline, Coronado & San Diego Bay, Tom Ham's is & remains a San Diego tradition in dining excellence since 1971.

    Best speakeasy I’ve ever been to! Such a chill vibe, drinks were delish and the food was amazing!! My compliments to chef! Loved the lounge style, patio like seating & tiki decor. We sat at a high top table with a fire place in the middle which kept us so cozy & warm. Highly recommend The Grass Skirt and will be visiting again soon!!

    Amazing celebration after our wedding. The food is always great and our server, Jessie was cheerful, appreciative of our celebration, brought a mud pie as a wedding cake and genuinely joined in to make our experience so festive and joyful! The bay was beautiful with clear blue skies. It could not have been better. Thank you for helping us celebrate the day.
