Venue Settings
The dual-concept launch of Polite Provisions and sister restaurant, Soda & Swine, brings a renewed spirit of community to a bustling street corner of one of San Diego\'s most eclectic, burgeoning neighborhoods, Normal Heights. Helmed by Consortium Holdings—the ambitious social engineering duo sparking a new wave of cultural interest in San Diego’s evolving urban hospitality movement—the new concepts opened doors in February 2013 to an incredible amount of pre-launch buzz, including Imbibe magazine’s “The Imbibe 75” of 2013, Eater National\'s “40 Most Anticipated Openings of 2013”, and Details magazine\'s “Where to Drink in 2013”.

The scene
Polite Provisions’ 2,200-square-foot space houses one of the most ornate bar setups in existence – a massive, 46-custom tap system expansive beverage program.
Design
The deliberately intricate and intellectually stimulating décor includes experimental design elements that Consortium Holdings has become distinctly known for, including a colossal centerpiece smokestack, opening air ceilings, and antique pharmaceutical accouterment. Our venue is an ode to the golden era of soda fountain.
Standout venue features
Polite Provisions is connected to sister restaurant Soda & Swine through the back hallway, combining the 2 locations and their designs into one.
