How do you get into A Hidden Vine?
We have not confirmed it. A Hidden Vine is in the directory because it described as hidden, and that is the whole of what we can stand behind about its door.
The drinks at A Hidden Vine
The current drinks list is published on the venue’s own site — see the menu.
Beyond what the venue publishes we have not verified a list, so what follows is the period rather than the bar: Sidecar, Boulevardier, and Vieux Carré are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.
Where A Hidden Vine sits
A Hidden Vine is in Mission Viejo, California, in Orange County, in the West of the United States.
Our directory currently lists two speakeasies and hidden bars in Mission Viejo — too few for a city guide of its own yet, so they sit on the California page until there are more.

California holds 173 listed venues in this directory. See them all on our California speakeasy guide.
Prohibition in California
California came under national prohibition on 17 January 1920, when the Eighteenth Amendment took effect and the Volstead Act defined an intoxicating beverage as anything above one half of one per cent alcohol — a threshold strict enough to close breweries that had expected to survive.
