Hotel del Coronado welcomes its newest eatery, The Laundry Pub

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — The iconic Hotel del Coronado has opened its latest culinary endeavor inside its historic laundry building, a release said Thursday.

Built in 1919, the laundry building was home to Hotel del Coronado’s original laundry facility. It was restored in 2021 as part of the hotel’s master plan project, which uncovered the building’s original brick walls hidden under layers of paint.

The Laundry Pub, which opened its doors earlier this month, now takes its place complete with an 1880s-era bar, vaulted ceilings and the laundry’s early conveyor system above restored wood floors, according to its website.

The Laundry Pub serves local craft beers from breweries like Stone, Karl Strauss, Mike Hess and more, alongside a classic pub menu featuring beer-brined wings and chicken and waffles, as well as a shrimp hoagie, a bratwurst and sauerkraut bun and a variety of seasoned fries.

Within the laundry’s original brick walls, the eatery also serves as a casual hangout space for groups to play games like billiards, darts, foosball and retro videogames.

Hotel del Coronado was designated a National Historical Landmark in 1977.
