Metl Cocktail Creamery
Although the coronavirus pandemic continues to deeply impact San Diego’s dining scene, some restaurants are finding ways to thrive and even expand. The latest local spot to take this pandemic path is Metl Bar & Restaurant, which is expanding its boozy ice cream into a café in North Park. Also new: artisan breads in Hillcrest, rolled tacos in National City, and Tokyo-style fried chicken in Kearny Mesa (and beyond). Eater San Diego shares those top stories of the week from our food and drink scene.

One of the rare bright spots that emerged from the pandemic has been the story of Métl Cocktail Creamery, spawned shortly after San Diego’s first shutdown nearly a year ago when Métl Bar & Restaurant co-owners Jenna and Randy Elskamp were in need of creative distraction and an alternate means of support. What started as a side-gig making boozy ice cream has since grown into successful stand-alone business that has proven to be a saving silver lining.
