Every Fri and Sat wine tasting (3 wines, 3 small paired bites) limited to 12 ppl, $35 pp, 8-9pm. It's actually 3 glasses! Very fun for date night or group outing! We had a blast! Thanks, Syrah!
JCOctober 8, 2016This is my fave lounge bar club.. I always bring my out of town guests here!!! And they Always get surprise that there is a good spot below melting pot. A not so secret door😍
Brian MercadoJuly 29, 2015I usually come here at night when the crowd is out. Place is kind of hidden as it is under earth the Melting Pot. Chill vibe, good music, and good crowd. Drinks are not too badly priced for downtown- Rick M JonesAugust 25, 2016The great place to hangout with friends. They have a good collection of drinks. It is usually crowded but in day the environment is very pleasent. The slow music refreshes your mood!!!
Diana HunterMarch 20, 2018Awesome underground lounge! It turned into a night club after 10pm and the music was popping! I definitely would recommend this place to people and The service is great too!
Find this secret garden down the rabbit hole near the Gaslamp Quarter. Full cocktail bar available. Charcuterie, sangria, and Syrah. Oh my!
DenetteApril 14, 2014Great place to nibble and sip with friends. After 10 there's a Dj and dancing. The Dj was good but people didn't really dance just mingling and bobbing.
Katarina KatsmaAugust 14, 2015Very ethereal. you can tell they put a lot of work into this place. The prices are also surprising reasonable. I was expecting it to be more than what it was.
Kunal KhandwalaFebruary 18, 2013Good menu for Vino connoisseurs, unique decor and that Hidden door is very Tolkienish. Cool lounge to hangout at to escape from Gaslamp's craziness
Katie KearseyApril 10, 2013Grilled cheese is super cheesy and delicious with truffle oil! Pairs well with the Niner Petit Syrah. And everything else on the menu.
Shareen S.July 7, 2012This place is awesome. It's packed late at night post-10pm with the club scene, but get there much earlier for an awesome wine tasting with Adam on Fridays and Saturdays.
JenniferFebruary 10, 2012Enter through the camouflaged green door to the left or else the people inside might be laughing at you!
James LeeJuly 20, 2013great space and music, the DJ spins an eclectic mix. Lounge an club that is reminiscent of the idea the Wonderland exploded inside.
San Diego Architectural FoundationJanuary 9, 2013An array of imaginative details from the used wine barrels transformed into a grand chandelier to the use of mirrors to amplify the room’s volume to the artificial hedge disguising hidden doors.
Leah BoyerJanuary 14, 2018We almost left because we thought it was closed but then tried the 3rd door. ;) Small cheese plate is legit and atmosphere was great.
JB FinnellMay 4, 2018Sangria, ambiance, staff ate all great. A variety of seating options to suit all moods.
Gaven OakleyMarch 19, 2015Good luck finding the "secret door" after they check your ID. A fun bar with wonderful sangria! 😋
Beau McDougallApril 19, 2018Great place to grab a drink for happy hour. Staff was amazing and made us feel at home right away!
Natasha BrittonMarch 7, 2017Loved this place! Felt like such a secret spot and the decor inside is insane. 🍻🥂
Steph LiraJuly 16, 2014Great date night spot after dinner. Good selection of wines and speciality cocktails.
Joshua TedescoOctober 9, 2016Come early in the night on Friday for a live dance and song performance... 90s music before 11pm
- Ryan OtaAugust 7, 2014Awesome ambiance and a hidden door. Watch people try to find the door on a tv at the bar
Kim DruschApril 21, 2013Comfy atmosphere before bottle service starts. Great place to grab a drink before 10pm. However bottle beers are warm.
Tiffany La ForgeFebruary 24, 2010Alice in Wonderland underground themed bar. Get lost in this Rabbit Hole by ordering the Stingling (my favorite drink - almost ever). And try to find the door in, but be warned, you're on camera!
Wine tasting & pairing! Every Fri & Sat night $25 for 3 generous pours of fine wine, each accompanied with an appetizer while listening to an experienced Sommelier. Classiest way to start the night DT Read more
Jessica GarrowAugust 10, 2010This place is AMAZING!!! Once you've found your way in it's very hard to leave. It's definitely the one place I'd recommend to any wine or cocktail lover.- Skyler MercureSeptember 17, 2010Great place to check out! Happy hour is fantastic, $4 wells can not beat that. But if you are feeling like trying something new the Stingling is fantastic (a must have)
Ashley FacianeMarch 22, 2011If you're having wine order the cheese an chocolate board. They have a honeycomb and truffle oil spread that is amazing on it.
Brian DelehoyJanuary 10, 2012Ur prolly a pretty cool, chill wine bar, but I may never know. And did u really run outta BL, ML and CL on a Sat night? #DitchTheDJ #WannabeClub
Sean SandAugust 31, 2013If you like Alice in Wonderland and enjoy fine wines, then this is the place for you.
Matt RosenbergJanuary 3, 2014Nice place to start your night off. Did you get stuck outside looking for the door?
Scott R.March 10, 2012Loved the mixed veggie board with the 07' Paul Hobbs Russian River Valley Chard. Dyn-o-mite!- Sheila AntoniaAugust 22, 2010Get the "Red Velvet Martini"! it tasted AMAZING! I loved feeling like I was in Alice in Wonderland all night =)
Act out a fight outside the door and you'll get a huge applause when you walk in!
Ray ElkinsApril 3, 2011Great vibe. Love the live video camera shot of people as they reach the bottom of the steps.- Week nights are more chill, it's too crowded on Fridays and Saturdays.
Mmm chocolate and cheese board is sooo good ... Their chewy chocolaty deliciousness is to die for
