Polite Provisions

Polite Provisions is a craft cocktail bar that opened in 2013 from San Diego hospitality group CH Projects, set in a 1920s apothecary-style room with a long marble bar near the North Park–Normal Heights border. After a closure tied to a liquor-license suspension, it reopened in early 2025 with a reworked menu organized into five sections — including a dedicated "Sans Alcohol" list — under beverage director Alicia Perry. The zero-proof options lean into the bar's housemade-soda and soda-fountain heritage: Daisy's Soda Pop (apple spice, pomegranate, lime, soda) and Gabe's Painless Killer (passionfruit, coconut, pineapple, lime), plus brand-built drinks like a Cinnamon Cherry Cola on Pentire and a Cacao Strawberry on Feragaia, some served as ice cream floats. It carries James Beard and Tales of the Cocktail recognition.

“We are excited to welcome the neighborhood back to experience our new cocktail menu, inclusive of 30 new offerings and a variety of non-spirited options.”

— Alicia Perry, Polite Provisions beverage director
