How do you get into Remedie?
We have not confirmed it. Remedie 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 Remedie
How the venue describes itself: “Step into The Devil’s Acre, a Barbary Coast-inspired cocktail bar in North Beach. Craft cocktails, live music, DJs, and a historic 1868 mahogany backbar. 256 Columbus Ave, SF.” (from its own website, retrieved 9 October 2026)
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.

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.
