The prolific CH Projects' latest spot offers the opportunity to peer into Petco Park while munching on the eateries' original sandwiches, which include a fried egg and bacon waffle sandwich and a swordfish sandwich with caper aioli. Don't go back to the fest without having a tipple from these cocktail pros; the Basil G&T, with basil eau de vie, dry gin and locally-made tonic, is a fresh take on the classic.

The new Don Chido will be serving up cocktails inspired by some of Mexico’s beloved cartoon characters, El Chapulin Colorado (Reposado tequila, lime, hibiscus) and Chilindrina (roasted pepper infused tequila, cucumber, lime, agave, tajin). All the food here is fresh, local and authentic; we recommend Richo’s Nachos ($9) or the Adobado Enchiladas ($16) to help soak up all that tequila.

This hip pizza spot is one of a number of participating East Village bars that will be offering specials to all Comic-Con attendees. Flash your Comic-Con badge at the front door here for a hoppy $5 Urbn St. Brewing Co. IPA and pair it with one of their award-winning pies like the Mashed ($12.50 or $21.50), topped with mashed potatoes and bacon, or the Meatball ($15 or $28), topped with mozzarella, ricotta and, you guessed it, meatballs. Bonus tip: free pizza samples are served during their 4-7 happy hour every day. And if you find yourself there Thursday night after 9PM, you’ll be just in time for a Comic-Con themed party hosted by Munky King.

This recently-revamped restaurant is definitely worth of a visit during the fest, especially on weeknights, when they offer a $6 menu from 5 to 8 p.m. In-house bartender Nate Howell is featuring a special concoction for the duration of the convention, ‘The Alter Ego’ boilermaker ($12), a shot of Jsix’s signature Woodford Reserve bourbon paired with a draft of their IPA made by Hess Brewing--a combination potent enough to bring out the superhero or villain within.

Darth Vader, Green Lantern, and Lex Luther: yes, these are some of the most notorious villains in the game, but this week they are also the names of some of Searsucker’s playful Comic-Cocktails. And the celebrations don’t stop there, if you're a Game of Thrones fan, there's a cunning medley of GOT-themed beverages to help you toast your favorite house: choose from either the ‘House Lannister’ (gin), ‘House Stark’ (Pimms), ‘House Targaryen’ (vodka), or ‘House Baratheon’ (rum)--these will run around $12. Just blocks from the Convention Center, you’ll be able to enjoy one or all of these before winter comes.

This new restaurant, lounge, bar and nightclub will satisfy all your pre-and-post festival needs, with a $2 off wells, calls and drafts until 7 p.m. and $15 mimosas during their DJ-fueled Sunday brunch.

The Sharknado movie might be questionable but we're pretty sure the Sharknado-themed treats that The Blind Burro will be serving up this weekend will be a hit. Check out the Smoked Shark Tacos and the dangerously blue ‘Sharkbite Cocktails’, complete with gummy sharks. There's a tequila selection (over 100 kinds!), a full menu featuring Baja Coastal cuisine and a fun, laid back setting. Enjoy some ceviche ($11) and jalapeno poppers ($9) while soaking up the sun at their indoor/outdoor bar.

Satisfy your Asian food cravings at this brand spanking new spot that's a short stroll from the convention center. Grab a Korean BBQ plate or a stone pot rice bowl and a beer or one of their soju or sake-based cocktails.

This Asian-inspired Gaslamp hot spot is opening its doors to citizens of all districts with a collection of Hunger Games-themed speciality cocktails. Try ‘The Effie’ (a bubbly champagne concoction), the ‘Haymitch Tribute’ (scotch, ginger, honey, lemon), the ‘Mockingjay’ (rum, brandy, ginger, apple), the ‘Girl on Fire’ (a mix of rums, amaretto, lime, and pineapple), or the ‘Katniss Kiss’ (gin, honey, ginger, rose water). If all the excitement has worked up your appetite, the Avenger specialty sushi roll will satisfy the old school comic fans.
