The perfect date spot can be hard to find, especially when the entrance itself is hidden. So why not head to the hush-hush hideaway bars of San Diego to sip your libations in secret? Nearly a century after the repeal of the Great Depression-era prohibition culture that gave rise to these surreptitious saloons, the appeal of the mysterious keeps them alive. From tropical cocktails to vintage spirits, our favorite speakeasies have it all. So put on your best getup and enjoy a night out on the town with your favorite partner in crime.
