<\/a>A refreshed facade and tempting drink deals at Bacari (Photo by Frank Sabatini Jr.)<\/p>\nAmong the numerous Mediterranean-inspired tapas at the new Bacari<\/a> in North Park is a drink option that seems too good to be true: Customers can opt for two different open-bar plans at any time during their visit, each of which offers unlimited drinks for 90 minutes.<\/p>\n The standard tier is $32, which includes select wines, beer, and bubbly. Or, for $37, you can upgrade to include well drinks.<\/p>\n The deal is a popular draw at the Los Angeles-based chain, which recently debuted in San Diego within the New Orleans-style structure that housed Urban Solace for 12 years. The two-level building sat empty since 2019. It now features a refurbished wrap-around balcony and bars and dining areas on both floors.<\/p>\n 3823 30th St., (323) 986-6763.<\/p>\n Baseball bites<\/p>\n The 2026 baseball season<\/a> swings into action with several new culinary options in and around Petco Park.<\/p>\n Stadium newcomers include Pop Pie Co.<\/a>, which launched 10 years ago in University Heights and has since expanded to multiple locations throughout San Diego. Look for a selection of savory and sweet all-butter crust pies.<\/p>\n Japanese curry dishes and seafood are the home runs at CoCo Ichibanya<\/a>, which has locations in Hillcrest and Kearny Mesa. And near the home plate gate, look for short rib sandwiches and chili-cheese dogs from The Shortstop, a concession that is exclusive to Petco Park.<\/p>\n Just outside the stadium, inside the Simon Levi Building, is the new Diamond Room<\/a>, a bar-restaurant that beckons to the 1970s. The venture is co-owned by the San Diego Padres.<\/p>\n 323 Seventh Ave., (619) 369-8600.<\/p>\n Western vibes with a feminine focus<\/p>\n The mammoth Park Summit<\/a> tower in Bankers Hill will make way for She Rode West<\/a> once the mixed-use housing project is completed this summer.<\/p>\n The ground-floor restaurant is a sister venture of the popular steak-centric Cowboy Star<\/a> in the East Village, except it will offer lighter, more casual fare. The 3,100-square-foot space will feature a design that pays homage to female heroines from classic Western films.<\/p>\n 555 Upas St.<\/p>\n News from Old Town<\/p>\n Sitting on a prime corner lot in Old Town is the new Doc Holliday\u2019s<\/a>, which recently replaced O\u2019Hungry\u2019s after a 47-year run.<\/p>\n The space was redesigned to resemble an old Western saloon, which complements such offerings as the Wyatt Earp burger, the Johnny Ringo chicken sandwich, and a vodka-based Pistol Whipped cocktail.<\/p>\n The menu extends to steaks, pork chops, and fish in addition to breakfast fare starting at 7:30 a.m., daily. <\/p>\n 2547 San Diego Ave., (619) 203-9603.<\/p>\n Also, the colorful plaza known as Fiesta de Reyes<\/a> has partnered with ExplorUs, a Kansas-based concessionaire with stakes in nearly 180 properties throughout the country. Many are historical sites that include national parks and monuments.<\/p>\n The plaza will be managed by Ryan and Brandon Ross, whose family members are the original operators.<\/p>\n We\u2019re told that the three restaurants associated with Fiesta de Reyes\u2014Barra Barra Saloon<\/a>, Casa de Reyes<\/a>, and the Cosmopolitan Hotel and Restaurant<\/a> will remain unchanged.<\/p>\n 2754 Calhoun St., (619) 297-3100.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Overview: Culinary options at Petco Park The 2026 Major League Baseball season swings into action with several new…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":260668,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[578,33534,44043,412,74,76,75],"class_list":{"0":"post-260667","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-dining","9":"tag-old-town","10":"tag-petco-park","11":"tag-restaurants","12":"tag-san-diego","13":"tag-san-diego-headlines","14":"tag-san-diego-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260667\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a>Get your pot pie fix at Petco Park this baseball season.
