Encore Chamapagne Bar & Dining Room, a champagne-centric venue debuting January 2014 in the heart of the Gaslamp District, is a first-of-its-kind concept to debut in San Diego. Encore features an extensive selection of fine champagnes and sparkling wines, from classic to rare vintages accompanied by a full bar featuring classic cocktails, craft beer and a variety of seasonal champagne cocktails. The highly skilled staff includes wine experts with advanced sommelier training to provide an enhanced experience for guests with a curious palate. With the spotlight on champagne, Executive Chef Ryan Studebaker presents a San Diego-fresh menu of well-rounded dishes including a variety of shared plates with French and Mediterranean influences, vegetarian selections and oysters. Various types of classic caviar complement the champagne-inspired menu as well.


Set in the historic Hill Building, Encore’s interior evokes a feminine ambiance paired against a masculine edge. Two sophisticated spaces make up the unique concept: Encore Act l and Encore Act ll.




Act I Bar & lounge

Encore Act l boasts a floor-to-ceiling backlit wall showcasing an array of champagne, accessible by a sliding library ladder. The sprawling wall of wine anchors a sweeping 25-seat wrap=around bar that is surrounded by plush lounge seating with soft and sexy lighting and low-hanging chandeliers.


Act II Dining Room Guest pass through a cellar-like hallway into Encore Act ll: a warm and inviting dining room outfitted with cozy banquette seating and Pullman booths. The open kitchen features a six-seat dining bar where guests can belly-up to dine with a view into the heart of the house.

Executive Chef Ryan Studebaker


A proven leader in the San Diego culinary scene, Chef Ryan Studebaker brings vast experience as the recently appointed executive chef at Encore, San Diego’s newest champagne bar and dining room in the Gaslamp District, opening January 2014. At his most adventurous project to date, Chef Ryan’s well-rounded menu will reflect his signature style and passion for locally sourced ingredients complemented by a French and champagne-inspired twist. Chef Ryan’s love for cooking and apt for creativity in the kitchen were inspired by his father and grandparents during his upbringing in Midland, Mich. His knack for cooking began when he started working at his father’s restaurant at the age of 13. At age 19, Chef Ryan moved to San Diego to pursue his culinary passion, and nearly 10 years later, he has honed his skills in the city’s top kitchens. Upon his move to San Diego, Chef Ryan joined Bertrand at Mister A’s where he perfected the finer points of French cuisine. In 2009, Chef Ryan joined Whisknladle, where he worked his way up the ranks and eventually opened the beloved PrepKitchen in Del Mar. There, he was named one of 2011’s Top Five Rising Chefs in the U.S. by Gayot. Known most notably for his time with Brian Malarkey at Enlightened Hospitality, Chef Ryan was the Chef de Cuisine of Gingham in La Mesa. His most recent venture was at Chef Matt Gordon’s Solace & the Moonlight Lounge in Encinitas as Chef de Cuisine, where he further cemented his reputation as a rising star in the San Diego culinary scene. During his time at Solace, he honed his leadership skills, fine-tuning the staff while focusing on training, technique and organization. Chef Ryan is eager to launch Encore this January and looks forward to channeling his creativity, developing classic, champagne-inspired dishes, while making the highly anticipated restaurant a premier destination in the Gaslamp District.
