"Long before natural wine became the hottest bar beverage, the Rose’s co-founder Chelsea Coleman was already pouring it at the Rose in South Park. Since opening nearly 15 years ago, the bar’s bottle selection has only grown, now offering something sure to please any discerning palate. While some bars lean into the dark and sultry, the Rose takes advantage of San Diego’s oft-sunny weather in a building that features exposed wood beams overhead. For nights when wine isn’t on the docket, the Rose offers cocktails and zero-proof options. Split a bottle and some olives while navigating the red flags of modern-day dating." - Helen I.
