How do you get into Rose Cafe & Restaurant?
We have not confirmed it. Rose Cafe & Restaurant is in the directory because it calls itself a speakeasy, and that is the whole of what we can stand behind about its door.
The drinks at Rose Cafe & Restaurant
How the venue describes itself: “The Rose is an iconic Venice Beach restaurant from chef Jason Neroni featuring Southern California Cuisine.” (from its own website, retrieved 9 October 2026)
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: Blood and Sand, Bobby Burns, and Rob Roy are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.

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.
