Hundred Proof

• 4130 Park Boulevard, San Diego, CA 92103 | Directions
• 619-501-6404 | Website

More bar than restaurant. The hen-egg pizza is a basic Margherita-style pizza — burrata cheese and cherry tomatoes — with a runny egg on top. Hundred Proof is setting itself apart by having boilermakers featuring top-grade whiskeys paired with craft beers. Try the boozy horchata "milkshakes."

It’s hard to top the quality of the cod in their classic fish taco: nice and fresh ­ you can taste the sea. No need to cover it up with salsa (though do so if you choose). Their tangy Bao buns are definitely worth pairing up. Make sure you ask the bar to make a Fernet con Coca, a cocktail made with tequila, Fernet Branca, and Mexican Coca-Cola

A sister restaurant called Trust is a little farther south on Park Boulevard.
