According to the historical plaque on the wall outside:

"The Quong Building (1913) is not only an historical structure, it has also been the site of archaeological digs. The business gets its name from Mon Yueh Quong, a businessman who operated the structure from 1889 to 1928. The building has been listed in city directories as being used as an opium den, a restaurant, and an oriental merchandise store, all during Quong’s operation. Later years saw the building used as a house of prostitution run by the infamous Mary Smith."

And THAT’s just where we’re having cocktails!
Please join me for this very special, multicultural Cocktails in Historic Places event. We will combine tequila-sipping (yes, these tequilas are WORTH sipping) with a brief overview of what was once San Diego’s bustling Chinatown.

Meet me in the elegant and cosy cocktail lounge to the right of the restaurant.

Cocktail attire is requested. Vintage cocktail attire is heartily encouraged!

Until then, my Dearies!
