About

The Lion's Share in downtown San Diego's Marina District pairs wild-game cookery with a 40-cocktail bar program from a candlelit den at 629 Kettner Boulevard, near the historic Santa Fe Depot along the Embarcadero. The kitchen rotates elk loin, antelope sliders, bison tartare, wild boar Bolognese, and a camel-pastrami burger alongside a sausage board of rabbit, buffalo, and boar links — a nose-to-tail game approach that draws the same Kettner corridor dining crowd as the cocktail-and-plates format at Craft & Commerce up the block. Taxidermy mounts, cowhide rugs, vintage chandeliers, and surrealist human-animal paintings set the atmosphere across a main floor and a 30-seat private upstairs dining room. The cocktail program features rotating monthly originals by guest bartenders, with each recipe benefiting a designated charity — a community-bar model distinct from the ingredient-driven plates-and-cocktails pairing at Kettner Exchange on the same stretch of Kettner Boulevard. The most complex offering is the full private buyout — a 90-person seated dinner or 150-person standing reception with a custom game-meat menu and curated cocktail service across the entire space.
