Smokehouse & Bar at the Historic Laundry
The Smokehouse & Bar is no longer available. In its place, we invite you to experience our newest neighborhood eatery: The Laundry Pub.
Experience The Del's newest restaurant inside the beautifully restored Laundry building serving sharable appetizers, slow-smoked meats, and classic BBQ sides with a California twist.
Dine outside on the lawn and watch the action at the BBQ Pit or gather inside the historic brick building beneath vaulted ceilings and the Laundry's original conveyor system. Pull up a stool at the historic wooden bar from the 1880s for inventive cocktails, beer and wine.
About The Laundry
The Laundry was originally built in 1919 to serve the laundry needs of both Hotel del Coronado and local Coronado Island residents. The fleet of five laundry delivery trucks was a regular sight on the island until local service concluded in 1973. The Laundry continued to serve the needs of the hotel and its employees until 2018. For the duration of its 99-year history, equipment within The Laundry was powered by steam.
The Laundry restoration was completed in 2021 as part of The Del’s Master Plan project. The original brickwork was revealed after layers of paint were removed by hand, and the original conveyor system tracks are still in place above the restored wood floors. Signage dating back to 1925 was discovered during the renovation process and is displayed near the bar.
