Polite Provisions

Justin Schwartz

Going to resist making this an overly polite review. Please don’t blame me if I can’t help it though. I ALMOST went to Polite Provisions 7 months ago around Christmas, and I’ve been wanting to go ever since. Drinks aka provisions Honestly, the non-alcoholic drinks looked great. I’d try the ginger beer. My favorite person and I got drinks that were full of alcohol, however. We got the Missionary’s Downfall, the Humuhumunukunukuapua’a, one we can’t remember with mint and strawberry, and a coffee cocktail that was made in lieu of the Dublin Irish Coffee since they didn’t have the ingredients for it. They were all amazing. I don’t think you can go wrong with any drinks here. Atmosphere When it’s not so lively, this is the perfect place for a date. The flickering lights at each table create a perfect ambiance as you gaze into your date’s eyes. You might forget that it’s rude to stare. Recommend? Without a doubt. Thank you for reading.

Came around 5:30pm on a Friday and got seated pretty quickly. The drinks are delicious. Got a virgin mocktail and the GPK, which was very strong. The atmosphere at this bar is impeccable. My only complaint is that it's quite loud with the music blaring and people yelling to be heard.

A local friend of mine brought me to this bar after having dinner. From the outside alone, I knew it was going to be an interesting visit. It was decked out with Christmas decorations from top to bottom! Upon entering, there were even more decorations in all the nooks and crannies. Talk about festive! If you want to get in the Christmas mood, this is definitely the place to be in December! Beyond that, I was pretty impressed with the drink menu. Lots of craft drinks and options. I had to and they were pretty outstanding! I don’t like to go to a bar and pay for an overpriced drink that I could’ve made it home. All of the drinks I had were crafted with layers of flavors. The bartenders were nice and the service was quick! I also enjoyed the music playing. I will definitely make it a point to visit the next time I’m in San Diego!

First time here and definitely it'll be one of my favorite bars to visit. They do not offer food menu nor snacks but allow you to bring your food in, so basically the best option to bring in from is Fortune Door, a restaurant besides, and the food is really good. There's a variety of cocktails and the service is excellent. I really recommend this place. I had a stout beer and a lager with grape juice that I enjoyed but I wouldn't try again. It was too much sweet for me.
