Polite Provisions Reopens in North Park With a New Menu and Classic Charm

North Park’s beloved Polite Provisions has made a grand return, bringing with it a refreshed menu, updated interiors, and the familiar faces that helped define San Diego’s cocktail culture.

The Polite Provisions reopening marks an exciting new chapter for the award-winning CH Projects bar, a cornerstone of North Park’s vibrant drinking and dining scene for nearly a dozen years.

With this relaunch, it’s doubling down on its signature 1920s apothecary-inspired experience.

“Our doors are open, and we invite you to enjoy an evening at Polite any day of the week, with full dinner service available next door at Fortunate Son.”

Classic Ambiance With Modern Updates

While many cocktail bars have embraced a more laid-back, casual approach, Polite Provisions is fully committed to its vintage-inspired roots. The updated space retains its old-timey soda fountain charm, now with refreshed interiors and exteriors that enhance the nostalgic aesthetic.
