Entry No. 21 — the San Diego file — filed under: speakeasy

Bar Kamon

A concealed door inside Asa Cafe and Bakery opens onto a 1920s Taisho-era Japanese cocktail lounge — shoji screens, crystal chandeliers, an antique telephone — pouring clarified Tokyo Banana cocktails and hojicha-infused Negronis alongside Japanese whisky flights.

The move: Grab pastries at Asa Bakery in the early evening, then slip through the hidden entrance for katsu sandwiches and a Japanese-whisky-driven cocktail list in a wood-paneled, chandelier-lit room.
