3 speakeasies in San Francisco you definitely need to check out. First up is the Green Room at the Battery's Musto Bar. Musto Bar, the members-only Battery Club designed by Ken Folk, is no secret, but the Green Room is a secret bar hidden behind a paneled wall and serves great cocktails. Next up is Local Edition. The subterranean highway on San Francisco's Market Street, hidden underneath the famous Hearst Building, is a great place for cocktails and an awesome spot for private events. Last up is Circa 1905 at the famous Barrel Room. The wine bar's underground lounge is a 3-room windowless space with a tiny cocktail bar and a bank vault that you can actually sit inside of.
