"At Books and Records, the library of beverages extends well beyond booze. This airy San Diego space — marked by tall exposed wood trestles and curved teal booths — serves up standout mocktails alongside the real deal. The restaurant is dog-friendly for those who can’t leave their pup behind; live music sets the vibe on Friday and Saturday nights. Sip on a Smoke on the Horizon (smoked vanilla, oat milk, cinnamon, walnut bitters) or keep it crisp with a Lemongrass Soda (lemongrass syrup, lime, sparkling water). And for a little something extra? Try the I Got Ube — a dreamy mix of ube-mint syrup, lemon juice, and bubbles." - Kelly Bone
