Entry No. 22 — the San Diego file — filed under: speakeasy

Oculto 477

Billed as Old Town's first speakeasy, this reservation-only room sits inside the Tahona mezcal bar right next to El Campo Santo Cemetery, dating to 1849 — the '477' in its name references the number of bodies believed buried there, and the occult-tinged decor leans into that history.

The move: Start with a mezcal flight at Tahona, then use the etiquette-card entry ritual described by local writers to get into Oculto 477 for graveyard-adjacent cocktails after dark.
