A great meal and a balanced cocktail is all that we ask for when we go out to eat. San Diego’s Fort Oak, a seafood-focused, wood-fired eatery located in the city’s Mission Hills neighborhood, offers both and scenery to match.
Opened by TRUST Restaurant and Executive Chef Brad Wise in a converted auto dealership, Fort Oak is one of the highest rated restaurants to open in the city this year. And while everyone is talking about their food (and rightly so), we think their cocktails are equally on par. For example, the Roadmaster, their house Old Fashioned with bourbon, orange black pepper oleo and bitters. And yes, it is garnished with bacon — if you’re into that sort of thing.
If you’re looking for something low ABV but with whiskey, they have the Wagoneer — amaro, rye, lemon, honey, orange bitters and absinthe rinse.
If you’re into light spirits, beer or wine, they also have a variety of options. And all cocktails are named after cars as the restaurant is located in a former auto dealership as you can tell as you walk into the bar area. There are additional automotive accents throughout the venue.
