Best Speakeasies to Sneak Into in San Diego | Eater San Diego

"Located inside Common Theory, this well-designed bar is hidden behind a modern apothecary filled with Chinese herbs and tonics that guests can smell and touch. Past the apothecary, visitors are led into a 1920s-inspired realm with old-world Chinese and Korean touches like private group seating in the shape of a lotus flower and a textured sculpture of a mountain range hanging behind the bar. Its skilled bartenders mix cocktails that are always innovative and intriguing, with themes inspired by everything from movies to Asian cuisines. One of the few speakeasies in town to offer food, family-style meals even, its dishes include Korean fried quail, dry-aged duck with maitake mushrooms, and black garlic and onion dip." - Roxana Becerril
