The Convoy District is known for a lot of things, primarily food (we did devote last year’s Food Issue cover story to exploring this very fact). But live music and local bands? Not so much.Well, welcome to the stage Mikami Bar, a new venture from the team behind the conveyor-belt-style Mikami Revolving Sushi, which, if readers haven’t already been, they’ve likely seen their friends post Instagram stories about it.The adjacent bar concept will work as an izakaya-style lounge area that includes elevated zenai (Japanese appetizers), craft soju and sake cocktails, and live music from local bands. When it comes to the food, think braised pork belly and cajun-inspired tuna tataki bowls, with plans for rotating dishes in the bar every two weeks depending on what’s seasonal. The team will also keep the live music selections fresh, as well as the art on the walls, which will come courtesy of local artists.7319 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, Convoy District
