ELE Collective’s John Pani, the owner of Park & Rec in University Heights, recently purchased a second building on Park Boulevard in San Diego. According to SanDiegoVille, Pani’s newest venture will be housed in a 1,500 square foot site, just two doors down from Park & Rec and will offer patrons pub-style food with a full bar, wine, and cocktails.

This makes sense given the new eatery’s neighbor.

Pani’s Park & Rec is a local cocktail bar with live music and ample indoor and outdoor space. The bar appears to partner with eatery Madison on Park to offer small bites. Among its cocktail selection are featured drinks like ‘Thermal Belt,’ a honeycrisp apple infused tequila with pineapple, lemon, and salt, and ‘Dawn of the Day,’ made with mezcal, rhubarb, aperol, and lemon. You can also get your hands on wine and draft beer.

Pani’s new eatery will open at 4628 Park Blvd. in the space that most recently housed Small Bar.
