Founded in 1941 by Harry Bushling, Harry's Market is a liquor store and convenience shop at 750 Ventura Pl, San Diego, CA 92109, steps from the Belmont Park roller coaster in Mission Beach. Bushling originally set up the grocery at the northwest corner of Mission Boulevard and Ventura Place, where it quickly became a community gathering point and helped organize San Diego's very first COMBO auction in the Mission Beach Ballroom across the street. He relocated the store to its current Ventura Place building in the late 1970s after more than thirty years at the original site, and a lease provision preserved the Harry's Market name through every subsequent operator. Today the market sells Boar's Head deli sandwiches, fresh fruit smoothies, acai bowls made to order, specialty coffee drinks, and a large wine selection that includes a five-cent second-bottle promotion, alongside beach supplies available from a walk-up window facing the boardwalk near Guava Beach Bar & Grill. Google reviewer Rani, who identifies as a store manager, encourages visitors to stop in for anything they need near the beach, noting the shop accepts EBT and has an ATM inside. The market earns a 95-out-of-100 health inspection score and offers delivery through DoorDash and Grubhub, and visitors heading north after a smoothie run often continue to Sandbar Sports Grill for cold pints and ocean views. Open seven days a week from 7 AM to 11 PM, Harry's remains a fixture along the boardwalk where beachgoers have gathered for more than eight decades. Few Mission Beach institutions can match that kind of staying power.
