Prohibition Lounge

San Diego


Find the unassuming doorway on 5th Ave with 'Eddie O’Hare’s Law Office' on it, then flip the light switch on to alert the door staff, who'll guide you into a sensuously lit basement exuding a 1920s Prohibition vibe. If your date doesn't make you swoon, the innovative craft cocktails will. Dress nicely and keep that cell phone off.
