About Liberty Public Market
Liberty Public Market is our favorite place to eat in Liberty Station. This is a food hall ala Chelsea Market in New York, that has a labyrinth of small food stalls serving any types of food you can think of, plus a big open bar and several stores, including clothing and jewelry. Many local San Diego restaurants have stalls at Liberty Market.
Think Korean BBQ or a slice at Landini’s Pizzeria. Think fried catfish at Cane Patch Kitchen or a poke bowl at Chris’ Ono Grinds. Think Filipino bowls at White Rice and clothing with a purpose at Nobelrags. A lot of the stalls here started as local food trucks and their only brick and mortar spot is in Liberty Public Market. There is also a bar and beer store within the market itself (Bottle Craft), as well as a Stone Brewery beer garden outside. The place is big and chaotic and awesome, perfect for a night out as a couple or with the children to allow them to run around. Really you could spend hours eating and drinking and shopping here and you should be able to find something for everyone.

A Closer Look
Liberty Station is an old naval base, formerly called the Naval Training Station (NTC), that shut down in 1997 and was bought by the City of San Diego in 2000. Since then, the city has worked tirelessly to make Liberty Station a community-focused sanctuary of locally-owned businesses, local art studios, and entertainment venues. It is one of the best places to visit in San Diego for restaurants, shopping, art, events, and community.
Liberty Public Market is owned by Blue Bridge Hospitality which is a Coronado-based hospitality group that owns a few other restaurants around the city. Hospitality group schmospitality group, am I right?. But we’re not really here to promote them. We say at least Liberty Public Market features many local businesses, giving them an opportunity to access a broader market, and for that we appreciate this place.
