Bud's Liquor at 4597 Park Blvd in University Heights, San Diego stocks beer, wine, and spirits along the north-south corridor that runs from the residential mesa directly toward Balboa Park. The store serves as the neighborhood bottle shop on the Park Blvd stretch of the 92116 ZIP code, with SNAP/EBT accepted for eligible grocery items. The beer selection covers San Diego craft producers and the same local brewing roster that supplies the coffeehouse-to-taproom circuit running south on Park Blvd past Lestat's on Park. Park Blvd sits between Adams Avenue and El Cajon Blvd, positioning the store at the midpoint for University Heights residents moving between the two main east-west commercial corridors. Evening foot traffic increases around showtime at Diversionary Theatre further south on Park Blvd, and the bottle shop's inventory catches the pre-show and post-show run. The return trip north from Balboa Park funnels visitors directly past University Heights storefronts on Park Blvd. The cooler section carries cold singles, six-packs, and ready-to-drink options from regional and national producers.
