   I loved the 6 Sierra, our waitress, was amazing. I can't wait to go back.

   It's a nice one time experience. When you enter they do tell you bartenders will create a drink on the spot based on your favorite taste of drinks, they also mention there is no menu (meaning you don't know the prices as each drink is made according to what you like on the spot). All three times I ordered I received standard drinks that any other bar makes, so do not assume the drinks are going to be new concoction from scratch. For example, when I said "I am looking for something refreshing, something close to a margarita, out of the ordinary, maybe salt on the rim" the bartender made a cucumber mojito. Each drink is close to $20 so make sure you get your money's worth and don't order ordinary drinks like a mojito. Cheers

   Went here for a couple cocktails before a concert! We made a reservation for 6pm and nobody was in there but by 7pm it was full! The bartender crafted each of our cocktails individually to our likes/dislikes. There’s no menu to choose from but each drink he made was right on point! There’s no food but there’s a restaurant connected to the speakeasy if you want to eat before or after your drinks. Love this spot and will be back next time we’re in San Diego!

   Bespoke cocktails from talented mixologists. Great service! Music was a bit loud for me. NE does not serve food, but the "front" institution does if you arrive early enough to eat there.

   Nice spot! Great cocktails tailored to you. A bit more loud that young blood so it’s a bit difficult to hear the bartenders and get that intimate cocktail experience

   4 drinks served. 2.5 drinks consumed. 0 drinks enjoyed. Spoken menu relies on the bartender to understand your preference and align the drink accordingly. Unfortunately our bartender did not seem to have a basic understanding of flavors, preparation or balance. The first round of drinks missed the mark so we decided to try 1 more drink opposed to another round. The third drink was worse than the first two (what about "spirit forward, like an old fashioned or manhattan, bourbon or scotch base, sweet opposed to bitter or smokey" makes you think to prepare a peach liquor drink with an absinthe spray?) We sent it back and asked for a classic drink as a replacement "old fashioned, manhattan or espresso martini" That wasn't something she was willing to make so I tried to be more specific, "nothing smokey like mescal or bitter like a negroni ... something like a manhattan or old fashioned ... error on the side of sweet opposed to bitter or smokey ". The replacement drink (#4) was a cross between a sazarac and negroni. We gave up and asked for the bill. Lesson - if your first round of drinks is not to the taste you described don't give the same bartender more changes. Ask a different bartender to make you a drink, or just go elsewhere.

   This was our first time at a Speak Easy. We were not disappointed. A very cool experience.
