Polite Provisions
COCKTAIL BAR
A mile north of central North Park, this cocktail bar custom crafts syrups, sodas and infu-
sions and serves many on tap, with a 'sodas and swine' menu.
Coronado to Pacific Beach
Pacific Beach (PB) is party central on the coast, with mostly 20-somethings on a beach bar
bender (drivers: watch for tipsy pedestrians). If you've been there/done that, you might
prefer one of the quieter coffee houses or restaurant bars, or head to Ocean Beach or
Coronado.

music from rock to Irish folk. Indoor and patio seating.
