Once the doorman grants entry, make your way underground into a candle-lit bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The charm of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.volsteads.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Volstead\u2019s Emporium<\/a> is that it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodandwine.com\/news\/prohibition-legacy-100th-anniversary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">replicates the many surprises<\/a> found within speakeasies of the 1920s and early 1930s. The cozy booths have privacy curtains and mirrors that open outward. During prohibition, the mirrors were a way for people to quickly discard their drinks during a raid. Here, your server might just pop their head out of the mirror and take your order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/volstead.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11338\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/volstead.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/volstead-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/volstead-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>When tangled up in a raid, open the mirror and pour your drink out!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, Volstead\u2019s has secret rooms and hidden doorways. You may need to move around objects on a bookcase or enter a phone book and pick up the receiver to find them. Within the hidden rooms are hidden panels because you can never be too careful. Today, they give servers fun ways to navigate the establishment, making more room for patrons and their friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customers love the spooky hunt to find the door in the back alley of a building. Likewise, they appreciate the authentic nature and surprises of this establishment. Many have noted the d\u00e9cor makes them feel \u201cfancy\u201d as though they were transported to another era entirely.

Herbert Hoover\u2019s intentions were noble enough, as the goal was to reduce alcohol abuse and strengthen family ties. The experiment, of course, was a complete failure, but many still honor the act that brought about a new kind of debauchery and fun: secret bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nobleexperimentsd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Noble Experiment<\/a> in San Diego is one of those places. It is a small cocktail lounge that is never overcrowded due to a strict reservations policy. To find it, enter the restaurant Neighborhood [https:\/\/neighborhoodsd.com\/] and head towards the restrooms. The door is disguised as a wall of aluminum of kegs. Push through and you\u2019re there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interior of Noble Experiment is artfully designed, with eclectic elements ranging from modern to gothic to Rococo. &nbsp;For instance, there is one wall dedicated to golden skulls, while paintings mirroring the Rococo era hang on the ceiling. Even <a href=\"https:\/\/hiddensandiego.net\/things-to-do\/places\/the-noble-experiment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the bathroom design<\/a> is a triumph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/ne2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Noble Experiment.\" class=\"wp-image-11344\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/ne2-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/ne2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/ne2-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>This mirrored tray reflects paintings hung on the ceiling at <a href=\"https:\/\/nobleexperimentsd.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Noble Experiment.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/2021\/03\/10\/7-dapper-glassware-collections-for-speakeasies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">table settings and d\u00e9cor<\/a> which are pure eye candy, patrons love the darkly lit, intimate environment. Their favorite aspect, however, is that this bar does not use a menu. To receive a drink, the bartender will ask about your preferences and drink vibes. For instance, they\u2019ll ask if you prefer something spirit-forward (aka, boozier) or a more refreshing cocktail. They\u2019ll also make note of preferred flavors and spices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, they\u2019ll come back and present you with a cocktail perfectly tailored to your tastes. Guests are also privy to the drink making process as bartenders enjoy explaining why and how they chose certain ingredients. The bartenders know their stuff; Some guests even call them \u2018drink whisperers\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Booze Box <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chicago, IL<br>Vibe: Japan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/boozebox1.jpg\" alt=\"Booze Box Japanese spirits.\" class=\"wp-image-11346\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/boozebox1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/boozebox1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wasserstrom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/boozebox1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Japanese spirits at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sushidokku.com\/booze-box\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Booze Box<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Izakaya-style secrecy.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sushidokku.com\/booze-box\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Booze Box<\/a> is nestled in the basement of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sushidokku.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SushiDOKKU<\/a>.
