Pizza
The Haven Pizzeria
A dog-friendly Kensington pizza and beer spot Roger found pleasant to hang out at but not worth the premium on the pizza itself; the Cortez pie fared better than the 'New NY.'

“The pizza isn't anything spectacular.”
A dog-friendly pizza and beer spot in Kensington that Roger felt was overpriced for the quality; the 'New NY' pie was salty and off-texture, though the Cortez (arugula, avocado) was decent. Fine as a low-key chill spot, but better pizza exists nearby.

Kensington Club
A Kensington dive bar Roger calls the epitome of the genre: stiff, quick drinks in a rarely crowded room, with whiskey and beer selections that are serviceable rather than special.

Seafood
A Kensington seafood spot with fishhooks lined along the walls, where Roger's reservation-night order of mac and cheese, ceviche and a whole market fish was let down only by a slightly bland fish that needed a squeeze of lemon.

A low-key rooftop whiskey-cocktail bar above a Gaslamp hotel; Roger says the list is smaller than Whiskey House or Aero's but the Old Fashioned or Sazerac still hits, alongside tasty tater tots.
