Our Story

A deli with soul, a bar with character

Deli Mart was born from a simple conviction: that a neighborhood lunch counter and a evening cocktail bar shouldn't have to choose between quality and comfort. We built a place where both coexist — where the same counter that serves a perfectly cured ham sandwich at noon becomes a backdrop for craft cocktails after dark.

Located on Dowdy Drive in San Diego, we draw from classic deli tradition and West Coast sensibility. Every ingredient is chosen with care. Every cocktail is made to order. And every guest is treated like a regular — even on their first visit.

Artisan Ingredients

Locally sourced produce and premium cured meats, delivered fresh daily.

Craft Cocktails

Seasonal menus crafted by experienced mixologists with an eye for balance.

Community First

A gathering place where neighbors become familiar faces.
