Venue Setting

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”.

Our venue is an ode to the golden era of soda fountain.
