"The Gaslamp’s Métl Bar & Restaurant has been working to feed San Diego’s unemployed hospitality industry workers, including any family members they are also providing for through its Métl Meal Program. Sponsored by donations from liquor brands and other companies, with contributions coming from the community via a GoFundMe page, the program has been providing at least 50 free meals per day; co-owner Jenna Elskamp tell Eater that they will continue to serve as long as they are able. Open daily from noon to 8 p.m., the eatery is also offering a takeout/curbside pick up and delivery menu of food as well as beer, wine, and cocktails to-go." - Candice Woo

"Gaslamp gastropub The Hopping Pig has been transformed into an unpretentious neighborhood bar helmed by a couple with strong local industry ties. The restaurant’s longtime manager and bartender, Jenna Elskamp, along with her husband Randy, a vet of Cantina Mayahuel, have modeled Métl Bar & Restaurant after the feel of their favorite bars; the new space is a comfortable, friendly hangout amidst the flashy downtown nightclubs that will regularly offer live music from a full spectrum of rock genres." - Candice Woo

"Metl, an upscale dive bar and eatery with a live music component, will highlight tequila and mezcal but the menu won’t be limited to just agave spirits." - Candice Woo
