"Two of San Diego’s most revered bartenders, Eric Johnson and Christian Siglin — each a previous winner of Eater’s Bartender of the Year — reunited to open a North Park bar that’s been packed since day one. The friends, who met more than a decade ago while working at Noble Experiment and later teamed up at Craft & Commerce and Sycamore Den, offer a friendly, approachable space where everyone is welcome and "no drink order is looked down on." Cocktails are crafted with care but are plainly fun, including boozy slushies, a blue-tinted Negroni, and retro mixers like Tang and Cactus Cooler; all that, and the food’s great too." - Candice Woo
