Established in 1956 and still operated by the founding family seven decades later, Chris' Liquor & Deli on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard holds the distinction of being San Diego's first deli and carries a 97-out-of-100 county health score. The sandwich program runs 65 named builds on Boar's Head meats and cheeses — Harpoon, Navigator, Rudder, hot pastrami, Reuben — placing it in the same OB take-out sandwich tier as the Italian sub program at Poma's Italian Deli. Sides are prepared from scratch on-site daily. The liquor side of the business carries 300+ beer SKUs heavy on rare limited releases and seasonal rotations, a selection depth comparable to the brewery-direct inventories kept at California Wild Ales. Propane tank refills, Boar's Head packaged meats by the pound, EBT-eligible cold sandwiches, and OB-branded apparel fill out the transactional mix. The highest-ticket single orders tend to be pre-game tailgate builds for Padres home stands — dozen-sandwich party trays, a mixed craft case, sides, sodas, and ice — assembled in one counter visit.
