Venue Setting

Venue Features
The Scene:
Located in the forever hip Little Italy section of San Diego, if you’re looking for somewhere to see and be seen these days, Ironside Fish & Oyster is a safe bet. Generating a constant buzz even before opening, the stunning statement space is packed with provocative design elements and progressive architectural details. Ripping a page from Puget Sound, two-starred Michelin chef Jason McLeod is running a raw bar focused restaurant comprised of three "culinary hubs" - expect rocking oyster platters, ceviche, lobsters, mind bending cocktails and of course, a packed house full of scenesters.
Design:
Eye-catching design is everywhere at CH Projects' reimagined 1920s-era warehouse, where Jules Verne (20,000 Leagues Under The Sea) himself wouldn't look out of place enjoying a fortified cocktail at the lavish, custom-fabricated bar. The nautical-themed work of art is thoroughly backed up by clever wordplay on the “A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats” signage, which stands watch over the exterior. The front facade dawns magnificent flip doors and windows edged in brass, which can be lifted to create an open-concept dining space facing the bustling street scene outside. Tucked into every corner of the restaurant, diners are encouraged to discover conversation-starting design accents such as a marquee "SHIT HAPPENS" lighting installation near the bathrooms, golden mermaids statues and a massive wall adorned with hundreds of faux piranha skulls.
