The Bridge Speakeasy

On our lists of the best speakeasies and cocktail bars in San Diego.

A discreet door in the alley behind the Coronado Fire Station Venue opens onto a room built around the base's Navy history, styled like an officer's quarters from the 1970s. The bar pours handcrafted cocktails named for the neighborhood's military past, among them the Nasni Jet Pilot, the Sea Dog and a Dreadnaught Espresso Martini made with Emerald Spear tequila. It keeps limited hours, open Friday and Saturday from 5 to 11 p.m. and closed the rest of the week.
