Candy's Boom Boom Room

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

Beneath The Beverly Beach Garden in Pacific Beach, this speakeasy hides two ways in: a vending machine on the upper floor that swings open, or a private door at street level. Inside, tin walls, Victorian couches and a pink neon glow read somewhere in the 1970s. Two bars, seven TVs and a small stage rigged for live mics fill out a room that also opens onto a patio, running Thursday through Sunday nights until 1:30 a.m.
