What is a Speakeasy?

A speakeasy is a bar that maintains an element of secrecy — hidden entrances, unmarked doors, passwords, or reservations-only policies. The term dates to Prohibition (1920-1933), when illegal drinking establishments required patrons to "speak easy" to avoid detection.

Today's speakeasies blend that clandestine spirit with world-class cocktail programs. From phone booth entrances in New York to bookshelf doors in Chicago, each bar offers a unique way in — and a memorable experience once you're inside.
