The concept of a speakeasy goes way back to the 1920’s when the manufacture, sale and transport of alcohol was illegal in the United States and speakeasies served as a concealed way to consume alcohol. The term speakeasy was born out of the fact that customers had to whisper or “speak easy” through a tiny opening in a door in order to gain access to the secret bars.
Now the purpose of a speakeasy is different. The speakeasy experience is more about the ambience than the need to hide out.
