The owner of San Diego's historic Aero Club Bar has taken over the building at 4727 University Avenue in City Height to open Chinatown Bar and Grill - a 2,300 square-foot bi-level neighborhood watering hole set to debut this fall.
Bill Lutzius has owned the seven-decades-old Aero Club in Mission Hills since 2004. He has been renovating the City Height building for more than a year to build the two-story Chinatown Bar & Grill, which will serve a casual pub menu of burgers, sandwiches, wings and other gastropub-style eats. Unlike Aero Club, which has a menu of nearly 1,000 whiskey varieties and many cocktail offerings, Chinatown will only serve beer and wine. The bar is expected to debut by early Fall.
