What the hours can tell you

Which places to eat in Downtown San Diego are open on Monday?
Of the 14 with hours on record, 13 open on Monday. The one that does not is Topside Terrace Kitchen & Bar.
Hours come from OpenStreetMap or from the business's own website. A place with no hours on record stays on the map and is never the app's answer, because the answer promises open now. Something wrong or missing? Write to hello@hottip.club. If the place is yours, claiming it is free.
