Where to Eat and Drink at This Year’s Comic-Con

Comic-Con International is returning to the San Diego Convention Center from Thursday, July 23, through Sunday, July 26, bringing with it crowds of cosplayers, celebrity sightings, and sneak peeks at upcoming movies and TV shows. Over the weekend, hundreds

of thousands of visitors will descend on San Diego in search of everything from fast-casual to sit-down meals to refuel after hours of standing, walking, and being fully immersed in pop culture.

While there are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance of the Convention Center and its hallowed Hall H (check out our handy maps of eat in the Gaslampand the East Village), here’s a curated list of venues offering Comic-Con-themed dishes and drinks inspired by everything from Star Wars to superheroes, and Marvel to anime arcade games, along with some other standout spots that are great for a breather.
