Young Blood

San Diego, California

No. 49 on North America's 50 Best Bars 2023.

Hidden behind a refrigerator door inside the Neighborhood beer bar, which itself occupies a nondescript East Village address, Young Blood operates as a speakeasy within a speakeasy, and the format suits its ambition. CH Projects designed the room for intimacy and precision: a light opener, a bold centerpiece, a dessert-inspired close. The journey matters as much as the destination.
