Irreverent and untraditional, Quality Social opened its doors in March 2010 as San Diego’s “next generation” neighborhood bar.
The Stanley cocktail was named for Quality Social’s squirrel mascot, which mysteriously went missing from the bar’s museum-wall showcase. Quality Social now uses Stanley the squirrel as its logo.

Ice
