J & Tony's Discount Cured Meats and Negroni Warehouse in downtown San Diego's East Village operates an Italian aperitivo bar and sandwich counter at 631 Ninth Avenue under the Consortium Holdings hospitality group. The cocktail program centers on negroni variations — the Negroni Bianco is the signature — plus amari, seasonal slushees, and the Spro Loko espresso-martini riff, an aperitivo-focused drink list that shares a Consortium Holdings pedigree with Craft & Commerce on Kettner Boulevard. Executive chef Jason McLeod (the "J" in the name) oversees a food menu that pairs house-cured meats and imported Italian delicacies with muffaletta, Italian sub, and Jonny Salami sandwiches served alongside charcuterie boards dressed with house giardiniera. Breakfast service runs soyrzo tacos and a vegan breakfast sandwich through the same kitchen that produces the cured-meat program, splitting the morning menu between plant-based and whole-animal traditions. Pop-culture pastiche defines the interior — a giant Ronald McDonald statue in a booth, a disco ball, vinyl turntables — delivering beverage director Anthony Schmidt's stated goal of an aperitivo bar with a San Diego aesthetic rather than a traditional Italian one, a playfulness distinct from the imported-cheese-and-wine gravity at Mona Lisa Italian Foods on India Street. The patio, added during the pandemic, doubled the restaurant's capacity and now anchors Habibi Nights — ticketed events pairing Iranian-inspired cocktails with labneh and dolmeh.
