Vin de Syrah is part underground urban lounge and part Alice in Wonderland garden party. The wine list is extensive and the selections of whisky, bourbon and beer are vast, paired with a menu of complimentary cheeses and meats. Dance to the music of San Diego's most eclectic DJs or the soothing rhythms of live jazz, or enjoy a beverage in the privacy of a plush booth.

Visitors and guests at The Moxy can delight in a secret, underground speakeasy located within the hotel’s halls. Room 56 can only be accessed through a reservation, a password and a secret entrance disguised as a bookcase. Guests are given instructions to pull a red book off the shelf and then are granted entrance. The bar is an intimate, 24-seat space serving up craft cocktails, but the experience of gaining access to the place is a big part of the fun.

Step back into the 1920s speakeasy era with a visit to Prohibition. If you can find it, that is! Located on Fifth Avenue between Havana 1920 and The Field, this secret-entrance, password-only club keeps the mood subdued, with soothing live jazz, irresistible cocktails and an upscale attire. House rules even admonish guests to “drink with an open mind” and “use your inside voice.”

At Onyx, partygoers perch on polished steel bar stools and sip Cadillac margaritas in a futuristic setting. Located directly downstairs, in the Onyx Room, an energetic dance floor and swinging lounge can be found past the speakeasy-style entrance.

Arrive at F6ix’s modest entrance at F Street and Sixth Avenue and follow the staircase downstairs for the ultimate hip-hop experience.

Where: 526 F St. San Diego, CA 92101
This is a one-of-a-kind experience and it's all underground in the Gaslamp Quarter. Trailer Park After Dark is meticulously decorated to replicate an all-American-style trailer park; guests can enjoy sitting at the bar in a shopping cart bar stool, or lounging on artificial turf in a wheelbarrow chair. Or, enjoy an authentic TV dinner on a TV stand while sitting on Grandma's plastic-covered sofa. Open late nights for those after-hours trailer parties.
