There was a bar in San Jose I went to that operated as a speakeasy. When you were permitted to descend the steps into the basement, there was a rollicking bar with bartenders in vintage garb who would interview you about your tastes. This one was recommended as matching what I like, and to this day is my very favorite cocktail. I ask for it anywhere I go.
