Room A at The Dutra Inn - Little Italy

“There’s a strange and wonderful energy on top of The Dutra. I imagine the ghosts of pirates past making their way up from San Diego Bay, and cosmic cowboys riding in from the Tijuana night. Room A is a meeting place. It’s actually where we first met. When you look up from the street below, you can see the rows of whiskey bottles.* You might even spot Pappy Van Winkle himself winking down at you. But from Room A, you can see so much more—rooftops, skyrises, and ships.
