A new “German-style” beer garden, tentatively named Adams Avenue Beer Garden, is preparing to debut in University Heights at 2611 Adams Avenue.
The new concept will move into the corner of Hamilton Street and Adams Avenue and feature 1,000 feet of indoor space and a 2,500-square-foot outdoor area, according to San Diego Magazine. This is the latest from local real estate developer Michael Donovan. Adams Avenue Beer Garden is expected to open sometime in Fall 2024.
Donovan is planning to convert the space into six short-term rental micro-units and four small commercial units, as well as the new beer garden. When the new concept opens later this year, customers can expect an impressive beer list focusing on locally selected craft options. There will also be plenty of wine, as well as breakfast items and brunch on the weekends. All drinks will specifically focus on being from San Diego, Baja California, or Temecula.
This will be an excellent location for Adams Avenue Beer Garden, considering it will sit in an area without many bars. In University Heights, there are a handful of bars near Park Boulevard and Adams Avenue, along El Cajon Boulevard, and at the corner of 30th Street and Adams Avenue, but none near Hamilton Street. While the new concept will have to compete with local heavy hitters, such as Swan Bar, Gilly’s House of Cocktails, and Park & Rec, owners hope the unique beer-garden style will draw in crowds from surrounding areas, including North Park and Hillcrest.
