Great for happy hour

A seductive surf-inspired hangout fronted by epic ocean views.
Catch the game, take a break from the beach or pool, or simply enjoy the sunset while snacking on crisp chicharróns and sipping a craft cocktail. For the moments between sunscreen and sundown, The Pocket presents Après Sea, featuring a menu of food and drink specials designed to refresh after a day on the surf and sand.

We are a cash free environment.

We love dining at The Pocket. We are locals and are happy to enjoy such a nice restaurant at the upscale Alila Marea Resort. The food is always delicious and the sunset views can’t be beat!

Great food and service. Beautiful Hotel. Nice little restaurant right by pool and ocean view. Fast service and great drinks. Definitely will book a stay at the hotel. Valet service also available even if you are not staying at the hotel and very reasonable.

Awesome spot! It’s indoors by the pool— I actually thought I booked for the lounge upstairs with an ocean view. But the food was amazing and so was the decor!

We had a reservation that was not honored, so we had to eat in the bar. The food we received was not worth the price we paid. This was a business meeting and I doubt any of us will ever be back.. Mary mitchell

View from bar is limited at best. It looks out at the pool but the backs of chairs are in the way. Not what we expected. Food was ok.

The pocket servers were on top of it! Very friendly and the manager Brittany came out to check on us. Great food and drinks! The ambience and view is breath taking! I highly recommend!

Apparently Open Table was not aware that the restaurant closed at 6:00. We and another couple with 5:45 reservations were not able to be served. Very disappointing.

Got there for our reservation at 5:45 and the bartender told us they were closing in 15 minutes. Open Table had not been updated with the right hours. He was great about calling upstairs to see if we could be accommodated in their high end restaurant. We did enjoy our drink at Pocket and our dinner at Vaga but were looking forward to a more low key experience. We did finally find out we could have ordered more casual food in their bar area. Would have been great to know ahead of time.
