Best New Bar: Bock

Bock was recently named “Best New Bar” in San Diego Magazine’s Best Of issue!

We're so honored and humbled to receive such a recognition and we know it comes with big shoes to fill. In a tough industry where nothing is guaranteed, it means a lot to feel our community lifting us up and supporting this dream. Thank you to everyone who has stopped in for a pint, brought a friend or helped spread the word. This only works because of you. Prost!

Here's what SD Mag had to say:

“Hamilton’s Tavern was an institution in San Diego’s beer scene for years—no one can deny that. But it’s time to start appreciating its successor, Bock, for the beer bar it is today, and not what’s been gone since 2020. It took owner Brian Jensen (of Bottlecraft and Vino Carta) way longer than he’d hoped to refurbish the burnt-out South Park space, but it was worth the wait. The interior, once worn and gloomy, now features warm wood, beautiful tilework, and a wizened goat head triumphantly mounted above rows of taps split between New World–and Old World–style beers. Frankly, it’s never been better.”
