The owner of Harry's Coffee Shop has opened a new outpost of sister concepts Cass Street Bar & Grill and Harry's Taco Club in San Diego's Ocean Beach neighborhood.
Earlier this year, the space that last housed the short-lived JJ's Sports Bar & Grill on Newport Avenue in Ocean Beach was taken over by the local hospitality group operated by John Rudolph, who owns Harry’s Coffee Shop in La Jolla, Cass Street Bar & Grill and Harry's Taco Club in Pacific Beach, The Venetian in Point Loma, Americana restaurant in Del Mar, and Mike's Taco Club in Ocean Beach. There is also a new location of Harry's Taco Club being installed in the space that last housed the catering arm of The Venetian restaurant in Point Loma.
The former JJ's space is now a new location of the modernized Cass Street Bar & Grill and Harry's Taco Shop joint-concept, which first unveiled in Pacific Beach in 2020. Like the original concepts on Cass Street in Pacific Beach, expect a full bar and a Mexican food menu similar to Mike's Taco Club (that is really a version of Oscar's Mexican Seafood, which once occupied the Mike's Taco space). There will also be the addition of Cass Street Bar favorites like the stuffed steak baguette, the Oriental salad, and the spicy chicken pasta. The space offers an 80s-inspired ambiance with a Knight Rider mural and a couple classic arcade games.
Cass Street Bar & Grill and Harry's Taco Shop are now open at 5049 Newport Avenue in San Diego's Ocean Beach neighborhood. For more information, visit cassstbar.com.
