The owner of Thai Time restaurant have taken over the unit that long housed Rip Current Brewing in San Diego's North Park for the opening of Between Us, an all-day farm-to-table eatery and neighborhood tapas bar.
Thai Time restaurant was founded on 30th Street in San Diego's North Park community in 2006, and the restaurant has been operated by Chanchai Ratananon since 2011.

As the day progresses, the eatery's ambiance will transition to a cozy taproom and bar, where they will serve an array of tapas and small plates paired with local brews from the area's vibrant brewing community.
"Our commitment to quality is evident in every dish we create, prepared with the utmost care and passion," explained Between Us founder Chanchai Ratananon.
