J & Tony’s Discount Cured Meats And Negroni Warehouse

The strawberry toast was very good. The service was very good. We went during a transition period. They are beginning to roast their own coffee. My husband who is a coffee snob had that dark coffee. He said it was OK. I enjoyed the Indian black tea. they have unique items to look at.

There's always a line, but it's worth the wait. My wife and kids love the modern times coffee, and the food from J&Tony's is great. We got the poached eggs (Turkish style) and hash browns. Ask for extra bread with the poached eggs. After the eggs are gone, there's still plenty of yogurt, herbs, and chili sauce to sop up. And the "No breakfast tacos" is a joke. The sign is always lit.

Definitely some good Negronis and cured meats. I only came in here for the drinks, but loved the vibe of the place and the Negronis were well made and well priced. Some great deals (including their meal deal that has a slider!) and their 3 espresso martini deal for $25. I’d come back! Would love to try some of their full sandwich options next time.

One of my favorite spots in SD! Great coffee in the morning and some nice breakfast options. Delicious drinks and friendly bartenders in the afternoon/evening. I made new friends here, since the place has a lot of regulars. Highly recommend! PS: try the meatballs!

I haven't decided yet if I like this place or not. I think it'll need a second visit because we went to early on a Padres' game day. The place was empty and by the time we were paying the check there was a bunch of baseball fans. Nothing against them, it's just not my favorite crowd. The cocktails are great, and the music in the McIntosh soundsystem was really good. I like what these guys of Consortium Holdings has been doing for interior design abd hospitality in San Diego. Until next time

Very odd little place that has the best name. 🤣 We got a mix of cocktails and some snacks. Service was good, decor was definitely on the quirky side (Ronald McDonald says hi). I also had the No-loko which was a great caffeine boost for midday.

Truly outstanding cocktails. You have to try the Negroni Bianco. Absolutely delicious and amazing. But it's not just him and bitter Italian aspartic based cocktails. They have an exit incredible selection of outstanding and sometimes obscure liquors and liqueurs. Also good food. Try the House Giardiniera and/or a Muffelatta. They also.have Modern Times beer and coffee. Update: 6/24/21: Still putting out amazing cocktails and great service. The Negroni Bianco remains my favorite cocktail here, but haven't been disappointed yet by anything else. Give it a try.

They rotate their menu so if you're looking to get cured meats, I suggest calling ahead. If you're gluten free, eat before you go as they (currently) do not offer any gluten free options. They get one star for having a bidet.

J & Tony's what a great place to hang out for a nice a sophisticated drink or maybe you want a Coffee. if your hungry they use to have e the most amazing Tin Food like razor clams, mussels and Tuna . The service was on point . On Sundays they have breakfast .

Didn't realize this place shares the same spot as the invigatorium coffee shop. We came on a Thurs over lunch and it wasn't busy at all. They have a very indoor/outdoor vibe with open seating, at least when we were there. Very unique and fun decor. We ordered at the coffee shop counter, they gave us a number and then brought us our drinks. I got their negroni and my sister got the old fashioned. Both hit the spot. I wouldn't say they were anything mindblowing but they were well made. I like the big cubed ice so that it didn't melt into the drink too fast.

This has become one of our favorite spots for a pre or post dinner cocktail. Whether you want the classics or something seasonal, they can get it done. Their cocktail menu does change often, so I am often trying something different each time I go. I can always count in their negroni too. We love the decor, and they play a variety of music, but never so loud that you have to yell. The only reason it's not a 5 is because it can be really slow when it's busy, as sometimes there is only one bartender. It's more of a 4.5 than just a 4 for me. They have a good happy hour, as well as decent prices for their cocktails. The bartenders are always super nice and helpful, and they really seem to enjoy what they do. I have not tried food yet, but hope to soon!

When I say I think about this dish at least once a week..I am not joking. This is probably the best breakfast plate I've ever eaten (poached eggs on the menu). I ordered the poached eggs and a carajillo old fashioned this time. Food and drinks are some of the best quality in San Diego. The space is open air with lots of windows and eclectic decor. Staff is friendly, kind, and unpretentious. Make this a stop if you're ever in the area.

This place is crazy cool. There's life size dinosaurs everywhere. The decor is crazy. It's like a mad scientists home. This is 2 places in 1, modern times has the other half of this crazy place. I stopped in during Christmas time so I got to try Christmas drinks. The egg nog is by far the best! It's so creamy and has the right amount of spices. I also tried a hot drink called the cobblers dream and that was also very good. We came during the week and it wasn't very busy; Plenty of bar seating and couches available. Also, make sure to check out the bathrooms. One of THE COOLEST BATHROOMS EVER! Your warm bum will thank you and me. Check it out !!!

We love this place! Decor is wild and cocktails are super creative as expected from a CH venture. The Spro-Loko is the best espresso martini you'll ever drink.

I love this place so much! It's cool, moody, intimate, & the bevys are top notch. It's become an after dinner staple when downtown. Because it's so small the bar is usually busy, but there's enough seating around to find a spot. I bring everyone for the spor loko. Simply cannot get enough of them. I would place bets on saying anyone who claims to not like anything under the espresso martini (who likes the taste of coffee) umbrella would enjoy this. It's classic & delish. You can't go wrong!

A coffee shop by day and a bar by night. The establishment gives off a natural (and fantasy) history museum vibe with many random exhibits that can be the center of some discussions. There are limited seating areas indoor, but there is a large patio space with additional seating for the sunny days. Prosciutto sandwich - A fresh rye bread with mayo stuffed with a lot of prosciutto. Perfect breakfast sandwich for any meat lover. There is no veggies or tomatoes to take away from the prosciutto. The bread was crispy on the outside, but dense and fluffy for a rye bread. Matcha latte - This was a tasty concoction of matcha, steamed milk and simple syrup. The right ratios to give off the matcha a rich creamy taste. Addition of sugar to augment the flavour of the matcha. Bees knees - A seasonal espresso based drink with a ginger honey simple syrup. The ginger was not overpowering, but was present in the background. Another great concoction that I would get again or try to recreate. I would definitely come by during the day and night, the venue transforms from a chill coffee house to a vibrant bar. It is a unique experience for both locals and visitors.

Stopped in here for a drink between dinner at Cowboy Star and before drinks at Kamon. Funky little spot with an interesting drink menu. Loved the lighting and the silly decor. I enjoyed Thee Stallion Spritz. A nice little light drink compared to some of their more complex cocktails. The bartender was super friendly and efficient. Not sure id ever come here food but I definitely would go back and try the Espresso Martini flight! That looked amazing!

This place rocks. Their happy hour rocks. Teeny tinis rock. Fun concept, chill vibes, weird Ronald McDonald. What more can you ask for?

Sad. The girl working the counter with long brown hair and the eye brow piercing this Sunday morning was extremely rude :( I had a few questions about the drinks and which one I would prefer as i'm not too much of a sweet cocktail gal which she snappily replied short and with minimal insight. Further she was rude to both my partner and his mother when she also inquired about drinks and the pins they had for sale. I love Consortium but I have higher standards for their quality for service. Drinks are delicious as always. Breakfast Sandwich was solid.

Super fun for drinks and snacks or an amazing muffaletta. Indoor and outdoor seating. House negroni is nice. Olives are homemade I swear. Meat and cheese plate was great.

The menu has changed here and there over the last couple of years that Ive been coming by for cocktails and prosciutto sandwiches. I've tried many cocktails and as someone who didn't really care for Negronis that has changed. However, the pre mixed glass I tried over the weekend didn't taste as the usual Negroni. It tasted more like Campari than anything. The hash brown is a hell of a lot better ! I'd say it's been perfected ! Hash brown sticks are 10/10. I didn't care so much for the nachos as I would of preferred the chicken to be shredded instead of a chunk thrown in there, but still the salsa verde inside was good! It had been a while since I had done breakfast and I'm glad I did. I love this place. The vibes. The memories I make here during summer (when I look at my bank statement). One thing I will say is that I always notice when a new venture is being opened up (in this case Lafayette) things are a little... different as far as the service and quality. Maybe everyone's been busy with the newest venture which is exciting ! But don't forget about us!

Hello This trendy spot in San Diego is pretty cool. They have cool decor and their food is unique and amazing! I ordered the breakfast sandwich and it was very tasty! They have a variety of coffee drinks. The coffee martini is superb! Definitely a must try if your in the area!

We were told to check this out by an employee at another bar. We came 45 min before closing and there was a handful of people there. The place is super interesting looking and we sat at the bar. I got thee stallion spritz. It was refreshing and had a cool taste to it. Bar tender was super sweet.

Best bar in San Diego. The drinks are amazing, and the staff is awesome!! It's rare to find good service in San Diego but this place never disappoints. Can't recommend enough, great place to get a drink and have a conversation without yelling at the person next to you.

Location is fun, one of many Consortium Holdings cute IG picturesque locations with out of box decor... sticky note wall, Ronald McDonald clown seated to take your always envied appreciated cheek kisses. Cocktails were our jam before the game and we had fun.

One of my favorite Happy hours in all of San Diego. I'm not normally one for slushies but their Lemonchello slush on happy hour is phenomenal. If you like a martini their mini Tinis are so fun! The food in here is great, the sweet stuff like the granola yogurt and the Nutella waffle is so good! But the charcuterie and the muffuletta is so good to. I go here a couple times a month and the hardest thing is the parking. I don't live in the neighborhood so I fight to try and find a spot anywhere near by. They have a full bar and the cocktails are really really good especially the Negronis.

This is one of my favorite places ever for the vibe alone. I wish everything had disco dinosaur vibes- for real! I usually visit The Invigitorum during the day when Modern Times coffee is operating, but my first visit was with the J&Tony's menu and it has kept me wanting more! I dined alone and sat at one of the small tables which was perfect for one person. I had a grilled cheese and I honestly don't remember which drink. I enjoyed it though! That grilled cheese was phenomenal! I saved the last 1/4th of it just to have later, because I knew I'd look forward to it. I'd come here more if parking wasn't so difficult/expensive, but even with parking I still find myself wanting to make a return trip here vs trying something new.

Such a fun spot! I hardly find myself downtown in this area but when I did, I knew exactly where I wanted to go. I've been dying to try their deli/sandwich menu but unfortunately they were only serving a limited/early menu but lucky for me because the breakfast burrito was sooooo good! We sat at the bar and the bartender was so sociable and kind. Let us try some samples and served some great cocktails. The whole atmosphere at the bar made me free like I was on safari and stumbled upon a secret bar on the savanna but then walking around it's a whole different planet. Kind of like 90s run in diner, meets Jurassic Park but also tiki? Does that help? You gotta check this place out.

This is such a fun concept. Charcuterie! I love charcuterie! The gin variations were fun as well. The decor was amazing. I think they kept a lot of the stuff from the prior restaurant (I forget it's name) so they still had that creepy, glittery Ronald MacDonald. Lots of outdoor seating and the service was really good too. Great place to stop for a drink and a snack. Charcuterie!

We were excited to try this place based on the previous reviews and the Yelp site itself but, unfortunately, we were a bit let down. One menu item I was looking forward to trying was included in a feature photo on the Yelp site - chicken liver. Unfortunately, it's no longer on the menu. Maybe they'll bring it back some day, I hope! We were presented with a menu which was very different than what was represented here on Yelp; therefore, I'm including pictures of their current menu (as of July 2021). After much debate, I settled in on the Mortadella Mama - the tang of the vinegary relish against the fattiness of quality bologna (as it's called in America), a bite of arugula, nestled in between two pieces of buttery brioche. I was excited. When I finally bit into my sandwich (service was slow), the brioche was every bit as buttery as expected, but that's where the lushness ended. The mortadella tasted like everyday bologna, there wasnt even a trace of the relish, and only a few pieces of arugula that was non-existent as a flavor. My husband had the muffaletta sandwich and his response was similar to mine. He likened it to getting American food at a Chinese restaurant. He said that he probably should've gotten this sandwich at a Creole/New Orleans-type restaurant. San Diego street parking per usual; no specific disabled parking. That said, there no stairs to get to the place and there's a ramp on the street (kind of hidden) to the entrance. If you like cocktails, this is the place for you, just not me (sober girl). Invigatorium, Modern Times Coffee's hotspot, shares the space next door (without a wall). That's where you'll order food to go if that's all you're getting. Nice outdoor seating, with umbrellas and lounge chairs - bring your sunscreen.

The mans and I love staycationing in San Diego and waking up to some brekkie from J& Tony's. Unfortunately, this last weekend will be our last visit. The wait is entirely too long, the staff isn't as attentive or friendly as they used to be. Mezcal Negroni tasted like it was shaken instead of stirred. Their signature Negroni was entirely too sweet. There are too many good breakfast burritos out there in Mexico's backyard to spend your good coin here. Least favorite of the Consortium Holding Group. The vibe and concept are great. Might come back, might not.

Espresso martinis are BOMB. This place looks straight out of Williamsburg mixed with a 1950a sci-fi movie. People are so friendly. It was so great, I stopped during the day for a coffee. Latte just as great. IT IS A VIBE.

Loved everything about this place! The name, the menu, the decor! All 10/10! I bring up this place at least one a month and tell anyone I hear who will be in San Diego to go there!

One of my favorite bars of all time! Love the ambiance, decor, and most importantly, the drinks! The bartenders were all so friendly and knowledgeable. One of the bartender offered us a bunch of different drink recipe books to read while we were there.

Great place, amazing service. The decor is whimsical. Really good drinks. Came on a Saturday night. Padres was playing so parking was hard to find. But other than that everything was perfect

Great ambiance. Front is open air and the inside is beautiful. Lots of interesting art and other decor. There are several tables both inside and out + an elegant bar headed toward the back.

So after dreaming for their sandwich I was so disappointed they don't serve food except for late night snacks after 4. The menu was so different they only offered a few sandwiches. Since it was 4:30 and I hadn't eaten all day I settled with the Prosciutto Baguette:: Crusty Bread, Fancy Butter, Sliced Prosciutto $12. It was exactly as described it was just not filling and didn't wow me. The waitress did say they change their menu often which is disappointing because I fell in love with the food last time and nothing was the same. I will have to try again in hopes for what I want on the menu.

If you haven't been here yet you have to!!! One of my favorite spots to go for a drink with friends and their Negronis are always bangers. Best Garibaldi in the city hands down. It's so fluffy and pillowy and tasty I could cry. Bartenders and baristas are friendly and great with people. During the day you can always find a seat and their service is so fast. The sandos are real tasty and the ambiance is super fun and relaxing. Love that the doors stay open with a breeze and the bathroom is so cute.

Really fun spot for drinks and tapas. They were out of some of the menu items when we went on a Friday night, so I'd call ahead if you're really hoping to try certain items.

5 stars for being so different and cool. If you are bored with the same old food and drink come here. The menus is super eclectic and focus on cured meats. Love the gold disco ball and the fringe seats. Music playing was intriguing, not sure the genre, but i likes it. Coming from old speakers (photo) Staff is super nice.

Fantastic spot for day drinking. Loved the whimsical space, the oversized gold disco ball, and a dragon with a No Breakfast Tacos sign (although they are open for breakfast and have a breakfast sando :). But 2:30 in the afternoon seemed like a good time to start some adult beverages (they also serve espresso drinks during the day, just like European bars). Started off with their version of a white negroni which was awesome. They did not use suze, but the combination of Dragoncello, vermouth, salers, and grapefruit provided an even tastier version. I also tried one of their HH spritz which a good value. I also tried one of their salami sandwiches which was more like snack but also well-executed. Overall, really enjoyed the service, beverages, and ambience here on a sunny afternoon and would love to come back!

Loved this place. Went with a boss lady friend from nyc who owns a wine store. She was impressed. Chris took amazing care of us and we got to taste some delicious amaro in addition to the deliciously well made negroni's. Happy to have experienced this special spot.

The vibe in here is really pretty and the food is good too. I adore the muffuletta which is always made with fresh ingredients and yummy bread. Staff is super friendly and the spot is very clean and well decorated.

J & Tony's shares a place with Invigatorium. They served sandwiches & breakfast items but they stop serving food at 4p (I believe?) They serve a variety of cocktails & slushees. Awesome bar seating inside & seating outside too. Friendly service!

Came here for a quick snack/drink and I only have one word to explain my experience; Fantastic. Our bartender (Sean) was a class act and a master of his craft. I ordered a apollonia , bread and oil and olive &artichokes- needless to say, everything hit the spot. The cocktail was excellent and the absinthe really brought this drink to life . I will definitely be returning every-time I'm in the area. Thank you Sean!

I was super hungry so I ordered the "Italian Stallion". When I got home and opened the box, I thought it was a joke... What is this, a sandwich for ants??

What an odd little place. Liked the idea of half beer/coffee and half deli/cocktails. The decor is out of this world. It's a lot. The dinosaurs, dragons, the giant disco ball, the random Ronald McDonald? What!?!? Oh yeah and the record player. What are you going for here? Overall concept busy, too much, and uncomfortable. Trying wayyy to hard. But maybe I'm just old!?!? Not hip enough. The service- ok at Modern Times At the deli- boo. The poor girl seemed like it was her first day on the job. I asked what her favorite sandwich was (since I had never been there) and it's as if I had asked her if she believed in Jesus. Oh my goodness. I felt bad for her inability to answer a simple question. It started with "I don't really have a favorite", to "their all good", to "well it really depends on what your in the mood for" to continued vomitting of words (I know I'm a B, but the interaction was painful). I wanted to walk out of there but I was hungry. She seemed young and overall sweet. But how about a quick training on how to communicate with customers?! J and Tony if you're real do something about it. I ordered the Jonny Salami with aragula, sun-dried tomayoes, artichoke spread, and shaved parmesan. It was delicious and the sandwhih alone is 5 stars. Also, had a beer and latte from Modern Times both solid. Will I be back? Absolutely not.

Hey now, yes I know it's just a sandwich, but it's a J& Tony's Italian Sub, which makes a whole world of difference, especially for $8.95. First of all, they use a quality Prager Brothers baguette for their sandwich. As a result, not only did it taste great, but the its texture was great. To top off, I had them toast it up, so it was that much better. I recommend having it toasted. The deli meats were terrific. The wagyu pepperoni was very flavorful, the mortadalla offered all that goodness, and the salami was nice salty and meaty. The combination of all the three meats was just grand, but were leveled up by the finely chopped spicy giardiniera that was slathered along side the creamy mayo. Together, it made for a five star Italian sub. If you eat at the bar, the bar keep may give a small serving Parmesan cheese right off a 18 month aged wheel of cheese. Eat at the bar. Service was great. Keivon, the bar keep was awesome and truly verse in the art of bitter cocktails and then some. If you like to drink quality cocktails, check them out.

After seeing the promotional photos thru the app (Yelp?) this week, I bookmarked this place. While I would give 5 STARS to the staff, Amanda, Maeve, and the bartender/server Kaven, I must award this rating for the food. The set up is very confusing. There's no host to get you. We had to figure out after talking to the staff behind one of two separate counters that you order beer at one counter and food at the other. Reason is there are two separate businesses here operating seemingly as one. Yes, the sandwich was good, JUST NOT ENOUGH content for $9. My sandwich didn't look anything near what I saw on the published photos. Charge me more to give me a decent sized sandwich. I finished my lunch and asked my companion where were we going now that we had appetizers??? I realize this is a new business, trying to gauge the customer. Well, if they keep it up as I got, they will be short-lived.

The place is a must see! Very unique in its decor. Staff was accommodating, especially with allergies. Do not have the opportunity to try the food but the drinks and coffee were amazing!

This is a great place to start your night when you need a little appetizer and a drink. If you are looking for a meal, definitely not the place to go. The meat and cheese platter complemented each other very well. Absolutely love the jam and the honeycomb. The sweetness was the perfect balance to the saltiness of the cured meats and cheese. The drinks were tasty as well. I'll definitely be back. I give it a 4 out of 5 stars because of service. The staff was friendly but if you don't sit at the bar or go to the bar, it's hard to get another drink. The bartender and the servers are busy multitasking. I came in around 6pm so who knows how it is at other times.

Where is this place??? I've gone by here day and evening time and all I c is a coffee shop. Where are the meats????

I've only been to J & Tony's at night when their bar is open. It was such a great experience the first time that I went back a couple nights later because I wanted to introduce more friends to the spot.

Nice space and atmosphere. Arrived with high expectations and although the cocktails were mostly good, was disappointed at the corporate approach. Rather than having true craftspeople as bartenders the staff simply brought together fancy shaped ice, the liquor and some premixed ingredients together. When I asked for a non standard drink, although plenty nice, the bartender was clearly out of their element. Everything I had was good, and I understand the logic of making the mix in large batches. It's just that sometimes one prefers a bit more individuality and some additional creativity.

So I do want to say that the place was nice and the service was very friendly. I'm a big fan of outdoor seating areas even before the 'rona was a thing and there was plenty of it for a Sunday afternoon. I ordered the muffuletta and my wife had the Mortadella Momma. They weren't bad sandwiches at all, but they were expensive considering what they were. I enjoyed the flavors of mine; just not sure it was worth $12 considering how thick the bread was and how thin the filling was. My wife, however, was told to expect a vinegary flavored relish that she felt would have made her sandwich worth the money but she couldn't taste any of it. Where we were really frustrated though was the fact that the menu was much smaller than we expected when we first noticed this place on Yelp. The photos of the menu led us to believe there was a lot more selection. I realize that the virus has made a lot of businesses, especially restaurants, have to scale down, and we respect that as much as anyone. That said, it would be good to update that. All things considered, it wasn't a bad place. Perhaps we'll be back someday if we're in the neighborhood and some things are different.

This is my new favorite bar in San Diego. From the laid back atmosphere to the killer cocktails and incredible bartenders, this place is special. I had their old fashion and the Negroni. Both were delicious. Their Giardina was also the perfect snack to go along with their cocktails. I can't wait to come back and try the food.

This is one of the best breakfast place in downtown. I saw this place by mistake( best things happened like that.) anyway, walk in and order the OJ breakfast burrito and was very impressed! They also have A good place to seat and relax outside. I

J & Tony's Discount Cured Meats and Negroni Warehouse located in the East Village is great new spot in Downtown. This place offers a little for everyone. Being located in a shared building, sharing space with Invigatorium - a coffee shop, you can come in and get a coffee from Invegatorium and have a sandwich from J & Tony's......However, I would suggest a Negroni from J & Tony's! When I found myself at J & Tony's, I was there for the cocktails! I had two, the Boulevardier with Buffalo Trace and the Calgary Cocktail with Old Foresters. These were both delicious hand crafted cocktails, stirred perfectly as not to over dilute the cocktail. I really enjoyed myself at J & Tony's Discount Cured Meats and Negroni Warehouse.
