Sessions by The Bay – San Diego’s First and Only Cannabis Lounge with Immersive Dining and Art

Welcome to Sessions by The Bay, San Diego’s first and only cannabis lounge offering an unmatched blend of immersive dining, artistic exploration, and elevated indulgence. Located in the heart of National City, our one-of-a-kind cannabis consumption lounge invites guests to savor a sophisticated culinary journey crafted by Executive Chef Jorge Bendesky, owner of Kimball’s Coastal Eatery and graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. Our curated menu features gourmet weed-infused dishes and signature mocktails with self-infusion options, allowing guests to personalize their experience in a refined and elegant setting. The cannabis menu at the lounge is completely distinct from our retail dispensary—featuring exclusive strains, a rotating flight of extracts, and other experimental offerings. For those seeking premium tools of the trade, our Bespoke Smokeware collection showcases the best from Puffco, Stündenglass, Zenco Cups, and more. Every session is elevated with mood-driven pairings, a weed restaurant menu designed to complement your emotional state—be it serene, inspired, or social. From culinary pairings to gourmet offerings, our immersive cannabis lounge delivers a luxurious sensory experience like no other.

Immersive Art Space – Opening Summer 2025

Launching this summer, our immersive art space will take your cannabis experience to new creative heights. With 10 interactive rooms, each themed to ignite wonder and awaken the senses, guests will journey through vivid environments filled with curated scents, immersive soundscapes, and surprise Easter eggs at every corner. Designed to be both experiential and photogenic, our lounge is a visual playground—featuring larger-than-life installations like towering smoking devices and living cannabis plants that merge art with nature. Whether you’re snapping share-worthy photos or diving deep into a multi-sensory narrative, every moment in our artful indulgence zones is designed to inspire exploration, spark connection, and celebrate cannabis culture. Here, guests are invited to consume their way—be it with a vaporizer, joint, or edible—as they wander through a gallery of the surreal and the spectacular.

Signature Events – From Comedy Shows to Dab Bars

At Sessions by The Bay, the vibe never stops. We’re proud to host an evolving lineup of immersive cannabis events that bring community, creativity, and curiosity together.

A Premier Cannabis Retail Experience Like No Other

Beyond the lounge, Sessions by The Bay is home to a 3,000 sq. ft. dispensary that reinvents the cannabis shopping experience. Here, customers can shop freely in a market-style setting, grabbing a basket and exploring a wide selection of premium cannabis products at their own pace. Tucked inside the dispensary is our 1930s-era mini market, a nostalgic space filled with rare international snacks, old-fashioned candies, and vintage vibes. It’s not just shopping—it’s a journey through time and taste. And for those in the know, a hidden speakeasy entrance in the market leads straight into our art space, giving VIP access to our immersive world. Whether you're looking for top-shelf flower, potent concentrates, or tasty edibles, our dispensary offers unbeatable value, selection, and atmosphere. Recognized as a top-tier weed store in San Diego, we’re more than just a cannabis shop—we’re a cultural destination. Discover why Sessions by The Bay is the premier cannabis dispensary and lounge in National City, redefining what it means to shop, consume, and celebrate cannabis.
