This will go down as the worst bar I have ever been to. Firstly, we had to pay $10 cover each - which is totally fine if it’s worth it. The cocktails were terrible, bartender was flustered and acted like he never made a drink before. No vibes, they had “live” music that we were waiting half an hour to hear and the band spent 20 minutes doing a sound check. This was 10pm in the evening, by then the band should be alive and well. When they finally started playing the vibe was like a child’s birthday party. Aesthetic is bad, few seats and standing is challenging since it’s like a galley. Couldn’t believe the price for two crappy cocktails - $50. Save your money, never again

Incredible bartenders and venue.

The libations are so yummy! Very personable tenders. Leif (sp?) took great care of us on a couple visits. I don't come to SD often but I will definitely stop back when I am here.

Really cool place, but this is supposed to be a speakeasy....it's tiny and should be secluded...it should require a reservation, have limited entry, or require a password.... But they just let everybody in and it was way overcrowded. Someone stepped on my foot/ankle twice. We thought it was weird also that there was a company photographer taking pics of couples with a massively bright flash. Seemed tacky obnoxious, and rude, as it was dimly lit. We won't be back. I'm sure back in the day it was awesome. The only thing that was good was the live music. Way overpriced too!

Leif saved the day with his pandan whiskey drink which was refreshing and tasty. It was the best drink of the night, other ones were okay. Good ambiance , have a 10$ cover

Great speakeasy vibe with solid live music sets. Expect to pay a $10 USD cover, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. Worth it for the atmosphere alone. Perfect spot if you’re into dimly lit corners, good cocktails, and raw live sound. Would definitely come back.

We had dinner upstairs at Havana’s and it was wonderful. We love the Speak Easy. The drinks are great, the music is fabulous. We love the Blues and Jazz Jams. We enjoyed singing. We danced. We have met some great people and musicians there. All of the staff is friendly and professional.
I loved it so much, I want to go at least once a week!

Walked to the entrance and I asked how to get into the bar and the doorman just said “not tonight bro” before shooing me away. He was very rude and did not even want to speak to me. There was no line, and the area was not even the slightest busy.
Great band plays on Mondays
