The new Soda & Swine restaurant recently opened its second location in San Diego at Liberty Station in Point Loma.
\nBorn from the vision of local designer Paul Basile, the 5,000-square-foot building housing the new eatery underwent a complete transformation with every element designed and fabricated by his award-winning design firm BASILE Studio.
\nTaking inspiration from the original Normal Heights outpost, which won the\u00a02014 San Diego Architectural Foundation Orchid Award for “Interior Design,”\u00a0the overall concept exudes approachable familiarity with a raw, yet refined aesthetic.\u00a0Standout features include a\u00a020-foot Foosball table\u00a0that doubles as cocktail seating,\u00a0hand welded\u00a0‘double-S’ steel barstools,\u00a029-foot brass quilted bar inspired by an airplane wing\u00a0(a nod to the overhead flight path), a\u00a0new oversized custom terrace\u00a0and\u00a0massive 19 foot by 12 foot glass paned, flip door. \u00a0
\nSome of the design details:
\n– Tucked under the table are\u00a020 custom cast-iron, cherry red stools\u00a0with leather tops;
\n– Near the entrance is an\u00a0in-house pie shop\u00a0inspired by the quaint mom and pops found on the streets of New York City.\u00a0Counter-balanced viewing windows flip up\u00a0so restaurant-goers can watch workers baking fresh-made pies daily in the wood stone oven;
\n– Basile is also known for their brilliant and functional bar, and restaurant layouts\u2014Soda & Swine seats 75 indoors, and 40 outdoors\u00a0
\n– The\u00a029-foot\u00a0quilted brass cocktail\u00a0bar with sweeping undercurve was originally\u00a0inspired by an airplane wing \u2013 a unique nod to Liberty Station\u2019s proximity to the overhead airport flight path;
\n– 19\u00a0custom \u2018double-S\u2019 steel barstools\u00a0with etched wood tops were all built at Basile. Brass \u2018S\u2019 purse hooks hang off the back of the stools for clever accommodation;
\n– Navy and white bohemian tiles\u00a0line the back bar as well as the interior of the pie shop and exterior cocktail bar;
\n– Vintage wood ship lath\u00a0reclaimed from the demolition of another project\u00a0lines the walls of the restaurant with sprawling greenery;
\n– Custom\u00a0Basile Built cedar banquettes, cedar tables with brass inlay and cherry red custom cast stools\u00a0line the dining area;
\n–\u00a0Opening up the airy interior to the oversized terrace is a\u00a019 foot by 12 foot\u00a0steel and glass paneled flip door\u00a0powered by a remote actuator. A smaller door also allows access \u2013 a door within a door;
\n– The outside terrace features a standalone cocktail bar, custom wood and steel awning, as well as cozy banquettes with\u00a0brass fire features;
\n– Another element that translates from the original location is a\u00a0quilted steel, fireplace facade; and
\n– A\u00a020-foot foosball table\u00a0was built entirely by the talented artisans at BASILE Studio.\u00a0Complete with 40 hand-stitched leather handles, a glass table top allows patrons to set a drink down or grab the foosball in between sets.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
