Tracing its lineage to Tony's Cafe in 1944, Tony's Martini Bar holds one of Ocean Beach's longest continuously-licensed liquor histories at 5034 Newport Avenue. A 1940s cocktail-lounge interior with vintage OB photographs, a jukebox, and dark wood booths places Tony's in the same throwback-cocktail-lounge tradition as Pacific Shores Cocktail Lounge a few blocks south on Newport Ave. Espresso martinis built on the bar's classic cocktail menu have become the calling-card pour, alongside specialty martinis poured at the long bar facing the Newport Avenue street windows. No kitchen operates on-site, but customers regularly bring food in from neighboring Newport Avenue restaurants — a workaround Tony's permits openly for guests sitting at the bar or in the booths. A frequent food-runner pairing puts customers walking in slices from Pizzeria Luigi farther down Newport Avenue, since Tony's no-kitchen format leans on the corridor's neighboring restaurants for guest meals. Specialty martini construction — the espresso martini topped with hand-piped edible art has emerged as the bar's signature pour — anchors a cocktail program that distinguishes Tony's from the beer-and-shot lineup elsewhere on Newport Avenue.
