Cow By Bear An urban dinner party experience experiment. We look forward to spending an evening with you.

Cow by Bear is not just a dinner.
(240)

Cow by Bear is the vision of an anonymous chef that simply goes by the name, “Bear.” Started out of Bear’s apartment in 2011, Cow by Bear is now a highly regarded dinner party experience operating out of one of several secret downtown San Diego locations. Dinners take place every Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday night at 8pm. Each dinner is reserved to 14 guests in a communal, social setti

ng. Dinner is five courses, highlighted by a 50-day dry aged ribeye roast entrée. After receiving a cocktail and snack upon arrival, each course is paired with fine wine expertly curated by Bear. It is a dinner party experience like no other, where you can expect to not only eat a world class meal cooked by a Bear, but leave with new friends. We look forward to spending an evening with you.
