Polite Provisions

San Diego, US

Ahead of its time when the bar opened in 2013 with a focus on housemade bitters syrups, and sodas, this gorgeous ode to the height of the soda fountain era has stood as an essential fixture of the San Diego cocktail scene ever since. Part of the draw is the unflappable beauty of the apothecary-like space – with an interior scheme that feels akin to a Parisian atrium, a 100-foot marble bar spans the length of the front room, which also features small Victorian flourishes in a melange of gold, oak, brass and velvet. An impressive custom-designed 46-tap system keeps service swift, and a savvy bar team helps usher the programme into the future with innovative flavour combinations and artful drink presentations. Arrive early while the room is still shining with natural light and chatter remains at a manageable volume; at night, the glowing chamber comes alive with revellers vying for their next round.
