Behind Closed Doors - BCD

I’ve been to BCD twice now, and both times the drinks were well above average. Their cocktail game is solid—easily on par with Prime Table, Market Tavern, and Black Rabbit—but with a more intimate speakeasy vibe. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and you can tell they put care into every drink they serve. It’s definitely one of the best cocktail spots in Stockton, especially considering the lack of real competition. That said, the place is almost always empty when I go. It deserves way more foot traffic, and I think with a stronger push in promotions and local marketing, BCD could really thrive. Still, if you’re looking for quality cocktails in a laid-back, hidden gem of a bar—this is it.

I’ve never experienced a bar like this. The bartender makes exceptional drinks not one was disappointing and he was such a sweet heart and a alcohol artist

Great place. I went for Tiki night & it was awesome. They had themed drinks, decorations, and themed bar ware. Highly recommend if you enjoy crafted cocktails.

This place is pretty awesome. The whole place has been gutted and tastefully remodeled. It still has KARAOKE on request if you'd like. Its speakeasy vibe and its specialty cocktails are on point. Claude, the bar manager/mixologist knows his stuff. All of their ingredients are hand chosen daily and everything is made from scratch with the finest ingredients. Take a look at the pics, but they definitely do not give it justice. I usually park in the back parking lot, since the main entrance to BCD is there as well.

Love this lounge and the bartender makes the drinks to perfection. Highly recommend 🙌

This place has very strong speakeasy vibes. Red brick wall, antique pictures, nice furniture and amazing cocktails. They have community kareoke, meaning it's not one person at a time on a stage. Instead, there's multiple microphones so anybody can sing. You select songs out of a book and sing. My only complaint is that there's no classic T-Pain songs. Whaaaaaat!?!

Comfortable and cool, speakeasy vibe (yes, really, in Stockton) and awesome, creative cocktails. You can order Korean food from the attached restaurant. Claude and his wife have really created a gem that this town needed.
