Soda & Swine 105 Eucalyptus Grove Lane, UCSD |
New delayed planned opening March 2019
The UCSD Triton reports, May 18, 2017: "San Diego-based eatery Soda & Swine, in the Fall of 2017, takes over the building formerly occupied by Porters Pub, members of the University Centers Advisory Board (UCAB) announced. The restaurant is well-known for its menu consisting of meatball sandwiches and soft drinks, as well as the cocktails at its adjacent bar called Polite Provisions.
The location next to the Student Center will be the restaurant's third location in San Diego. The original branch and bar opened February 2013 in University Heights, followed by a second restaurant July 2015 in Liberty Station. The restaurant's ownership group, Consortium Holdings, was co-founded by restaurateurs Nathan Stanton and UCSD alumnus Arsalun Tafazoli."
