J & Tony’s Discount Cured Meats And Negroni Warehouse — Restaurant in San Diego

Omg, y’all. Just go. Seriously, do it.

The vibe in here is 10/10. I mean you’ve got Ronald McDonald sitting next to you, with a dragon on the bar, dinos behind it, and a huge disco ball hanging above. Yes, you read all that right.

What’s even better than the vibe? The cocktails, y’all.

THEE STALLION SPRITZ : Lo Fi Gentian Amaro, Passionfruit, Lemon, Sparkling Wine, Seltzer Fruity, well-balanced, the amaro was a very nice touch.

BODEGA CUP : Artisanal Tequila, Manzanilla Sherry, Celery, Lime, Cracked Pepper Earthy, light, and fresh. Try sipping it from the cup instead of the straw to get the nice pepper note!

COCO’S COLADA MOUNTAIN : Amaro Montenegro, Amontillado Sherry, White Rum, Pineapple, Coconut, Lime Super tasty take on a colada! The Montenegro and Sherry added a nice depth to the cocktail and complimented the rum and fruit juice so well!

We also ordered a meat and cheese board with a side of the house giardiniera. Everything was super tasty!

But again, stop reading and just...

Stopped here while in SD and it was just as expected... Excellent. I've been to the other CH concept locations and find them to have extremely knowledgeable staff who show a lot of pride in what they do. Not a lot of American eateries and bars show this level of commitment but these places definitely do. I've been to neighborhood, YB and NE and they are all the same as this place. Spoke with Sean who was very polite and welcoming and created two awesome negronis. Where other 'craft cocktail 'places around the country make you ask (and even pay extra) for clear ice for example, this place already knows to put it in the drink. It's also the food items, decor and music that this concept group obsesses over. Maybe most people will not notice the extra effort but some people really do notice and appreciate...

This place is always a solid choice. The bartenders are always friendly and professional. The drinks and quick food options are high quality ingredients and very thoughtfully created. When friends and business associates ask where to meet downtown, I always avoid the typical tourist attractions and take them to J & Tony's. At first they're wowed at the decor, then the drinks, food, and service seals the deal. Almost every time they return, they too make a stop here. You can't help but envy the folks at Consortium Holdings for sneaking their office right behind those glass walls. Bravo. Just do me a favor, a keep this secret spot to...
