Built from the ground up in 1980 and still under original family ownership, Bi Rite Market stocks an uncommonly deep wine and craft beer selection from its corner position on First Avenue in downtown San Diego's Bankers Hill. The fine wine inventory — which the store describes as unmatched in the city — sits alongside local, domestic, and imported micro-brews and a full liquor wall, creating a beverage-curation depth comparable to the specialty food sourcing at The Market By Buon Appetito in Little Italy. A remodeled deli counter produces freshly made salads, sandwiches, and homemade meals including Mediterranean dishes and kebabs, cut from fine deli meats delivered to the store. Fresh produce arrives daily, and the grocery section carries a full range of packaged goods and household essentials under the same roof as the liquor operation, all operating under a Type 21 ABC license for off-sale beer, wine, and distilled spirits. The Bankers Hill location serves the same residential corridor anchored by delis and markets like First & Ivy Market a few blocks south, near the Balboa Park and San Diego Zoo pedestrian approach. The store holds a San Diego County health inspection score of 99 out of 100, reflecting compliance standards across its deli, produce, and prepared-foods operations.
