Our Story

Pour it in, let the fun begin.

Sycamore Den is a locally owned cocktail and whiskey bar tucked into Normal Heights at 3391 Adams Avenue. Vintage 70s den vibes, a deep bourbon list, expertly built classics, and seven house signatures — served in a room that feels like the best basement bar of your uncle's youth.

We're proud to be part of San Diego's independent bar community. No dress code, no reservations, no pretense — just a friendly stool, a fair pour, and a daily half-off happy hour worth showing up early for.

Stop by for trivia on Tuesdays, live music Thursdays, weekend DJs, karaoke nights and everything in between. Whether it's date night, a work happy hour, or a full buyout, you'll find us doing what we do best: making sure you stay a while.
