"Housed behind Neighborhood and Noble Experiment is Youngblood, a “speakeasy tucked within a speakeasy.” A personalized cocktail experience hosted in a bar with only 16 seats, each visit is never like the last as three hand-crafted cocktails are prepared based on the individual guest’s likes and wants. Reservations via OpenTable are recommended." - Candice Woo, Roxana Becerril

"The most exclusive bar in San Diego is like a speakeasy within a speakeasy. You have to secure Young Blood reservations weeks in advance because there are only a handful of seats, and it’s well worth the effort once you’re seated in front of the stick, pouring out your dreams and desires to an attentive mixologist. They will respond, in turn, by whipping up a bespoke drink befitting your mood." - Brad Japhe

"Young Blood is a warmly-lit, high-ceilinged rosy fantasy of about 30 velveted seats that can each be had for the price of an all-inclusive $65 ticket. Young Blood’s nightly playbill spans a welcome glass of bubbly plus three cocktails over a one hour and 30 minute session but unlike other prix fixe bars, the menu here isn’t fixed at all; tended to by a team of two bartenders, guests will be guided through progressive courses based on their personal preferences." - Candice Woo

Such a wonderful experience with the drink ‘tasting’ menu. My fiancée and I were over an hour early for our reservation but they accommodated us with no issue. The complimentary glass of wine is always a nice hospitable welcome. Zach was a true bartender and enjoyed the process of understanding our drink preferences. I can honestly say I had two cocktails that were so unique and not like anything I’ve had before. I love putting the trust in the bartender and this was the perfect place to do that. To make this the best experience, really explain your favorite tastes, types of drinks, and things you are interested in. The more feedback you provide, the more interesting your drinks are going to be. Highly recommend, and what a way to start vacation.

I had a great experience at this speak easy this weekend. The bartender will go through different flavors with you so that you can build your drink so to speak. It was simple because you just select what flavors you like as they list them to you, and they create all those flavors for you in 1 drink. I was so impressed with the outcome it was suuuuper delicious!!! I got a spicy-citrus-fruity-mezcal cocktail and it couldn’t have been better choice for my taste. I absolutely loved feeling the spicy sting on my lips after each citrus-fruity sip! So props to the bartender for that! I also loved that they don’t disproportionately drown out the flavors with the liquor, it was actually way more flavorful than anything else so I really appreciated that! I definitely recommend you check this place out, I loved the art on the walls as well. Thank you for the immaculate vibes!

You know it's good when the toilets have a bidet and warmed seats 😳 Quite possibly the best speakeasy I've visited in a long time. The drinks are masterfully crafted based of your spirit preference. I didn't get the same drink twice, and all the drinks that came to the table were amazing. You also can't beat the ambiance inside the speakeasy. Absolutely 5/5.

This was a great intimate cocktail experience. There is no menu. Your bartender gets to know your pallete and crafts 3 drinks for you. Come with an open mind and make sure you make a reservation!

Fortunately/unfortunately, this is my favorite bar ever! Fortunately because it's so amazing, but unfortunately since it's not an everyday bar you'd go to, and I don't live in SD. (+) Vibe - really cool old timey digs, love the ambience, the seats are comfortable, and I obviously love me a hidden door speakeasy. (+) Service - amazing, friendly, attentive. Made fantastic cocktails. (+) Drinks - cocktails were amazing. You can tell they definitely listen to you when you're describing what your preferences are and bring that into the cocktail. I absolutely cannot wait to go again.

It's very hard to get a full 5 star review from me. This place is absolutely the best craft cocktail experience in San Diego. It is a small speak easy so make your reservation in advance. The size gives the mixologist the opportunity to focus on creating an experience to remember. Zack was who helped us and his skill was phenomenal!

Youngblood in San Diego is a hidden gem with outstanding service. Andrea, our magical expert bartender, truly made our anniversary special. After sharing our tasting preferences, she crafted magical, well-balanced drinks that made our celebration incredibly exciting. The personalized touch and attention to detail were exceptional. Highly recommend!

Yo - if you like your cocktails and want to check out a super swanky spot - plan a couple days ahead and make a reservation to get in here. Went with a friend and we had such a good time. Great drinks - friendly staff. We were hesitant that 4 drinks would be WAY too much to have without also eating alongside it, but the team works hard to balance the alcohol content of your drinks. We each went different avenues for drinks and were impressed by all the selections brought to us. A very memorable experience.
