Mitch and Anna were amazing, and so were the drinks! I think the whole experience (starting from getting into the bar) to like the menu and the drinks is quite fun, and would definitely come down again!

Food was not good at all. The carne asada was not cooked. And guacamole had no flavor.

Really cool unique vibe & entry process! It's a pretty small venue so reservations are definitely required, and the drink menu is limited but definitely doesn't dissapoint. The process of getting allowed access into the establishment is wiiilddd LOL

What a horrendously boring experience.
I came here thirsty, and I left even thirstier for conversation. I have to admit, the cocktail that I did have was good, but I was just so uncomfortable with the vibe in there that I had to leave prematurely.

All of the seasonal drinks and new cocktail menu were delicious especially the Sloth, Pride, and Lust. Bartenders were friendly and great service. Great experience, my fiancé and I always enjoy coming here and will be back soon! Highly recommend, it’s one of our favorite speakeasies in San Diego and it’s always fun coming to Old Town!

Amazing artists making the drinks. Anna, mitch and logan are talented. I don't even bother looking at the menu, I enjoy letting them create something special every time with just a few suggestions. The atmosphere is fun, too.

Terrible service, unaccommodating, and a disappointing experience all around

It was a cool way to enter a speakeasy. The drinks took a while to come out. Not crazy long though. But the drinks in quality were pretty basic. Most whiskey based drinks tasted like a regular old fashioned.

Update: Decided to try this place again and it was a good experience. Staff were friendly and attentive. My drink was delicious.

Very cool place with a Gothic adjacent theme that's mixed with local culture. Great drinks, skilled bartenders, and a good time. Res only!

this is an excellent spot for good conversation and relaxation. The bartendar Anna is great. She does a great job of explaining HOW to drink the special drinks they make, takes her time to help us make the right decisions and is very friendly. i highly recommend this place for a relaxing night.

Logan was amazing, took the time to discuss mixology with us, made for a great evening!

Out of all the speakeasy I’ve been to, this would be my least favorite. They have rules you must read and agree to before entering.

Took us two months to get a reservation for 6. We got seated at the booth. It’s really dark inside and one of the rules says you can’t use your camera flash. Instead, there’s a battery operated fake candle light.

Two drink minimum per person. We each got something different and we passed the drinks clockwise for everyone to sample. Therefore, we each sampled 12 drinks. Out of the 12, we agreed on a few favorites and we all have different palate yet we agreed on the same. Two of them were dealers choice where you customize your own.

Envy and Pride were refreshing. Sloth tasted like an espresso martini. Tsumi tasted like the Asian coconut gelatin dessert. Vod sod was the worst out of all.

I’m a light weight and usually drinks at these places hit me quick with a buzz and I’m done on my second. When it doesn’t, it makes me think the quality is not there. I’m not a fan of their drinks, didn’t find their concept unique except for the rules.
