                    Explore the Best Speakeasies in San Diego

                    It’s time to party like it’s 1920. As a nation-wide revival of speakeasy bars is on the rise, San Diego is one of the best places to get in on the trend. And here, it’s more than just a trend—the secret doors, swanky settings, and extensive cocktail menus have been developed by some of the city’s biggest names in hospitality. If you’re heading out for date night or even just drinks after dinner, here are 10 of our favorite speakeasies in San Diego.




                    san diego at night

                    Photo: Zocha Group

                    Noble Experiment

                    This spot is for guests who like a little mystery. There’s no drink menu, which means every drink is custom made. After you give the expert mixologists your drink profile, it’s time to sit back and be pleasantly surprised. And don’t be deterred by the skulls on the wall; they only add to the mystique.




                    Prohibition

                    Behind the facade of a law firm is San Diego’s first speakeasy, Prohibition. The cocktail menu is perfect for open-minded, adventurous drinkers, and the lounge’s moody ambience will have you intrigued to try something new. Enjoy the lively band and prepare for a real prohibition-era party.




                    Raised by Wolves

                    In an unassuming La Jolla mall is this extravagant speakeasy complete with domed ceilings and oak-clad walls. If the incredible interior doesn’t impress you, take a look at the cocktail menu. We recommend making a reservation and ordering the tiramisu martini.




                    False Idol

                    Get an eclectic tropical drink or punch bowl for the table at this speakeasy meets tiki bar. Book your table ahead of time to take advantage of the fun island vibes mixed with an intimate setting. Enjoy happy hour from 5-6.




                    Vin De Syrah

                    Vin De Syrah is not among the typical speakeasies in San Diego. This wine parlor in the heart of Gaslamp adds a spacious, inviting gathering place to this neighborhood known for nightlife. In addition to a large wine list and cocktail menu, Vin De Syrah also offers a charcuterie station and craft paninis.




                    Realm of the 52 Remedies

                    Fronted by Common Theory Apothecary, “The Realm” has a fix for whatever your ailment. The clean, modern aesthetic of Common Theory won’t prepare you off for the moody vibes once you enter The Realm. Influences from ancient Chinese and Korean cultures will thwart you back in time and get you in the right mind for a unique speakeasy experience.




                    Young Blood

                    Enter through a refrigerator door into the most exclusive bar in San Diego. This reservation-only, three-course cocktail experience is not to be missed on your tour of speakeasies in San Diego. This is no prix fixe either—mixologists build your menu as they work based on what you like and their own expertise.




                    Seven Grand

                    Here’s a San Diego speakeasy for whisky lovers! This neighborhood favorite for locals and visitors alike is known for whisky tastings and the perfect meeting spot after work or after dinner. And don’t forget to join Seven Grand’s exclusive Whiskey Society! 




                    Oculto 477

                    Next to San Diego’s oldest cemetery (where 477 bodies are buried), you’ll find Oculto 477. You’ll have to make a confession before you can get in, but then you’ll enjoy a moody and intimate environment and cocktail menu inspired by the seven deadly sins. Guests recommend making a reservation.




                    Polite Provisions

                    The fun and extensive menu at Polite Provisions includes boozy slushies, draft cocktails, mocktails, beer and wine. The ambience here is not quite as exclusive as many speakeasies in San Diego, so feel free to sit outdoors or indoors to enjoy your drink. Visit their themed pop-up in December to get into the holiday spirit!
