About This Directory

Speakeasy Directory is a free resource to help you find hidden bars and speakeasies across the United States. We list secret cocktail bars, password-protected lounges, and unmarked entrances — so you can find the door even when there's no sign.

How We Find Bars

We combine data from multiple sources: Google Maps business listings, editorial guides from publications like TimeOut and Eater, individual bar websites, and community recommendations. Each listing is enriched with entry method details, dress code information, cocktail style, and vibe descriptions.

Entry Method Details

The heart of every speakeasy is how you get in. We research and document entry methods — hidden doors, phone booth entrances, passwords, unmarked facades — so you know what to expect before you arrive. These details come from editorial sources, bar websites, and community tips.

How Bars Are Ranked

Bars are sorted by Google rating and review count. We do not accept payment to influence ranking or placement. No bar can pay to appear higher in our directory.

Disclaimer

Speakeasies change their secrets. Passwords rotate, entry methods evolve, and some bars close without notice. We update our listings regularly, but always call ahead or check a bar's social media before visiting. If you notice incorrect information, we'd love to hear about it.
