Best Speakeasies to Sneak Into in San Diego | Eater San Diego
"A cozy nook inside Old Town mezcaleria Tahona, Oculto 477 pays homage to the 477 bodies buried at El Campo Santo Cemetery located next door to the bar. To enter, visitors must confess one of the seven capital sins (lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride) or make a confession of their own. Upon entering the dimly lit alcove, guests can make themselves comfortable at the bar or at the blue velvet-lined booths. The bar puts a modern twist on Prohibition-era drinks and has seven drinks named after the deadly sins — the Envy, for example, made with orange blossom gin, strawberries, and pistachio orgeat. For those feeling a bit more spontaneous, the Dealer’s Choice calls for a unique libation made with the visitor’s preferred spirit and style." - Roxana Becerril
