619 Spirits
Our Story
619 Spirits started with one simple idea: to create a spirit that truly represented San Diego. What began as a single bottle of locally distilled vodka has grown into 619 Spirits North Park, a full distillery, restaurant, and cocktail bar pairing craft vodka and spirits with scratch-made American food. Today it isn't just a distillery, it's a neighborhood destination where San Diego gathers to eat, drink, and celebrate.
The Founders
619 Spirits was founded in 2017 by Nick and Kristen Apostolopoulos, who set out to create a locally distilled, smooth, award-winning vodka. That original bottle of 619 Vodka became a Southern California favorite and eventually grew into the North Park distillery and restaurant the couple runs together today.
How We Make It
619's base spirit is distilled 12 times and filtered 5 times in-house at the North Park distillery. Flavored expressions are then infused with real ingredients, rose petals, dill pickles, scorpion peppers, farm-picked cucumbers, or cold-brewed coffee, rather than artificial flavoring.
