Rancho Valencia opens new Rein pool bar

Rancho Valencia Resort opened its new pool bar Rein this summer. Located at the resort’s adults-only pool, it offers guests and locals a new, refreshing culinary experience with an elevated yet approachable Southern California poolside vibe.

Rein is a retreat complete with newly minted cabanas, surrounded by tropical landscape. The new outlet offers a variety of handcrafted cocktails and fare inspired by the resort’s dedication to healthy living and well-being. Menu standouts include ahi sashimi “poke style” and grilled salmon with Israeli cous cous and coriander yogurt. Highlights of the menu’s refreshing libations include the Rein Margarita, Born to Rum, which pairs Flor de Cana rum with mango, Kaffir lime leaf, vanilla and ginger, as well as a selection of rosés from Domaines Ott Rosé to Domaine Chandon “Etoile” Rosé. The Rein menu can be enjoyed by guests in the cabanas or at the lounge chairs with an outdoor dining area coming soon.

Rein is open exclusively to spa and resort guests. For the spa menu, visit ranchovalencia.com. Also consider dining at Rancho Valencia’s Veladora for San Diego Restaurant Week, Sept. 18-25.
