About

Our Story

When we set out to create Stone Turtle, we wanted to bring something special to Dogtown: a place where a true whiskey-forward bar could live side-by-side with a relaxed, sit-down restaurant. The result is a high-quality American gastropub offering lunch, dinner, brunch, and a classic old-fashioned happy hour. Stone Turtle is intentionally designed to be half restaurant, half bar—both in its physical space and in its overall identity.

Our bar highlights small-batch and lesser-known distillers, vintners, and brewers, offering a wide selection of spirits, wines, beers, and more. On the restaurant side, we focus on elevated comfort food—quality dishes prepared with care at prices that remain approachable.

And there’s something we believe makes a real difference: our chef is also the owner. That means every plate, every menu change, and every detail reflects a personal commitment to excellence. When the person crafting the food is the same person leading the vision of the restaurant, you feel it—there’s more consistency, more heart, and a higher standard in every dish.

Our goal is to be distinctive while still feeling right at home in Dogtown. We can’t wait for you to visit and experience it for yourself.
