Prohibition

On our lists of the best speakeasies, cocktail bars and live music venues in San Diego.

Behind an unmarked door on Fifth Avenue marked "Law Office" and "Eddie O'Hare, Esq.," a flipped light switch signals entry to this basement bar of exposed brick, candlelight, and worn tile floors. A live band plays blues and jazz most nights, and the room takes no reservations, so arriving before 9 p.m. on weekends is the way in for larger groups. A cover charge and a dress code apply at the door.
