Basic Urban Kitchen & Bar Reviews List

Simplicity and urban style converge at BASIC Urban Kitchen + Bar in downtown's East Village neighborhood. Authentic New Haven thin-crust, brick oven pizza is the highlight on the one page menu, and a no-nonsense drink list and simple design elements complete the industrial-style lounge and restaurant, which was converted from an authentic 1912 warehouse.
In the midst of San Diego's social scene, BASIC takes the locale back to its roots as a casual, contemporary enclave for visitors, young professionals and neighborhood regulars alike. BASIC's simple approach in concept and raw design have allowed it to stand out among the crowd—becoming one of the town's leading hot spots.
