The lounge will \u201cserve classics-inspired cocktails and food in a 1970s retro-chic setting, with red velvet curtains, black leather booths, mirrors, turntables, album displays and a disco ball.\u201d The Diamond Room marks the \u201cfirst collaboration between\u201d Finest Collective, the Padres\u2019 hospitality and events division, and Patina Group, the fine dining\/hospitality arm of Delaware North, which oversees concessions at Petco Park. Padres CEO Erik Greupner said that Diamond Room \u201chelps fulfill a promise the Padres made to San Diegans back in 1998, when voters overwhelmingly approved Prop. C, the ballot measure that authorized the use of public funds to build the popular downtown baseball park.\u201d When the 2,138-square-foot City Tacos closed last June, Greupner said that the Padres \u201csaw it as an great opportunity to expand the area\u2019s food and beverage offerings, particularly because there isn\u2019t an upscale cocktail concept in the immediate area\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandiegouniontribune.com\/2026\/01\/12\/padres-set-to-open-50-seat-upscale-cocktail-lounge-near-petco-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.sandiegouniontribune.com\/2026\/01\/12\/padres-set-to-open-50-seat-upscale-cocktail-lounge-near-petco-park\/\">SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE, 1\/12<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Padres on Friday will open Diamond Room, an \u201cupscale, 50-seat cocktail lounge\u201d near Gallagher Square at Petco&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":520273,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2407],"tags":[5,9601,28226,4,43,137,18,4339,4338],"class_list":["post-520272","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego-padres","tag-baseball","tag-fan-experience","tag-food-and-beverage","tag-mlb","tag-padres","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-padres","tag-sandiego","tag-sandiegopadres"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/115894840531054936","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=520272"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/520272\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/520273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=520272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=520272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=520272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
