The Morning After

Gaslamp Bistro and Bar Serves Up Early Morning Eats and Late Night Drinks | Eater San Diego

"Opened around the new year in the 4,132-square-foot corner space at F Street and Sixth Avenue that last housed Vegas transplant Off the Strip, The Morning After is a Gaslamp eatery now serving daily breakfast and combining a bar and lounge area with a separate dining room. Its daytime menu leans sweet—Fruity Pebbles pancakes topped with mascarpone buttercream, Cinnamon Toast Crunch brioche toast with Grand Marnier icing, and a red velvet waffle topped with cream cheese icing and toasted pecans—while savory options include bacon-wrapped asparagus with an over-easy egg and balsamic drizzle and shrimp and grits with pancetta herb gravy; French toast, waffle and pancake flights are available, along with brunch drink flights from mimosas and margaritas to Bloody Marys. Open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 7 a.m. to 3 a.m. on weekends, the restaurant morphs into a sports bar beginning at 5 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and serves a late-night bar-bites menu featuring sliders, mac ‘n cheese, loaded french fries, and buffalo wings." - Candice Woo
