The Speakeasy
A speakeasy is a hidden or clandestine bar that originated during Prohibition in the 1920s, when alcohol was illegal in the United States. These bars operated secretly, often behind unmarked doors or inside other businesses, to avoid law enforcement. Today, modern speakeasies are stylish, themed bars that evoke that era’s exclusivity and mystery, offering guests an intimate atmosphere and often specialty cocktails. They emphasize privacy and ambiance, providing a unique drinking experience that combines historical charm with contemporary craft.
