Oculto 477

This place is totally great! I've never been to a speakeasy before, and I had no idea what to expect. The entire way they set up your journey into the back room of the speakeasy is very much like a Disney ride, and once you get in there, it really does feel like you're transported back to another time. The drinks were extremely tasty, different and exciting. Mine was lit on fire, which was pretty fun. Prices are pretty good considering how upscale and different the spot is. I definitely recommend it!

Okay. Beware the way you have to enter. Read the rules. Once you are in you will find a small and dark area where no flashlights are allowed. Too dark to read? Too bad. Ask the staff for help and this is a good thing. It keeps the atmos really in place. The beverages are knock your socks off great. They are $20+ each but are truly yummy. Overall a nice place to relax and try some drinks you've never had.

A fun little speakeasy located within Tahona Bar in Old Town. They play up the whole next-to-graveyard thing by having you confess a sin to a "priest" through a grate at the door.The bar is small and slightly cramped, but they do make a lot of pretty awesome drinks here. The bartenders also keep it low key and fun. I really enjoyed the Garden of Death. But one of the best things I had here was the drink I received based on a dice roll.I rolled "rum," "spicy," and "tart." The bartender made me a very interesting, creamy, spicy, and sour rum cocktail, somewhere in the world of an old-fashioned and whiskey sour mash-up.It's a bit pricey with each drink being $20, but it's a whole little experience. A cool place for a date or a hangout. Definitely worth trying out at the very least.

This place is next level. Grab a reservation and get ready to confess a sin to get into this cocktail haven. Ambiance was amazing and service was lovely. Cannot go wrong. Stunning drinks!

Such a cool atmosphere! San Diego has many speakeasy experiences but this is truly unique as it's located right next to historic El Campo Santo in Old Town.We went on a Wednesday evening so reservations were easy to secure. After checking in with the hostess, we were given a card with instructions. I won't spoil anything, but just like a real speakeasy, there's a certain way you're allowed entry into the actual bar.There was a 3 drink maximum, although I felt like we could've had at least one more, but understandable due to time constraints and the bar tenders really did cater to us. Even though there were others in that small space, it felt very personal and tailored for our own experience.The drinks were not only beautifully presented, they had quite a kick and tasted great. I thought the prices were reasonable, an average of $20 per drink.Overall, as small as the space was, it didn't feel cramped. I stead it felt intimate and we enjoyed the personal attention.

We've been to Oculto three times now and it's never disappointed. We brought our friend from out of town and the whole experience was a hit. The drinks were so tasty and tailored to our preferences. The bar tender was skilled and personable. Love that it's a smaller place so it feels very intimate. 10/10

It's a very small venue with about 6 tables so you need to make reservations.I enjoyed the drinks and presentation of them.However the service was horrible. The waitress was really rude to us several times. I felt like I was in a restaurant where they are rude to you on purpose

Both of my visits to Oculto 477 have been top notch as far as craft cocktails go. It's the perfect cozy environment to catch up with friends or for a date night. It has a spooky old-timey atmosphere with a playlist of 20's jazz-style covers of current pop songs.The space is small, so the largest party they can accommodate is six, which fits the intimate nature of the bar. The cocktails on the menu are extravagant and delightful. I also love the options for roll the dice to pick a custom cocktail, or bartender's choice. It's clear that the bartenders here are true artists that know their spirits. They are fun and in character, and it is clear they are passionate about their craft. Be warned, you'll need to practice a bit of creativity to enter.

Very creative and unique speakeasy located inside Tahona Bar restaurant in Old Town! It's very small inside, about 8 seats at the bar and a few small tables and a booth that can seat 2-4 people. This is NOT good for big groups.When you check in at the entrance of Tahona Bar, the hostess provided us with a card that had information on rules and how to get into the speakeasy. To be let in, you confess one of the 7 deadly sins at the door which looks like a confessional at the church. We both ordered the "Dealer's Choice" for one of our drinks, which is where you tell the bartender your choices for spirit, style, and profile. The bartender really did a great job creating a drink to each of our liking. My husband also ordered the "Risk It All" where he rolls 3 dice that choose the spirit, profile, and style for him. We were both happy with our drinks! Heads up:-2 minimum drinks per person-Reservations are a must-It's pretty dark inside and they refrain you from using phone's flash, but you can use the candle on the table-Only 2 bartenders/servers inside so the wait for drinks and to order can take a little bit -Street parking only in Old TownOverall, great experience and I recommend to anyone who enjoys speakeasies!

An experience like no other! A great time had by all! Cheers to the bartenders/wait staff.Tim
