speakeasy

The present four-story art deco property was constructed in 1926 at the height of the Prohibition and was known for the flamboyant speakeasy in its basement.

Then I was working the door at these speakeasies that were really important back then, called Temple Bar and Zanzibar.

Similarly, the living room’s coral, pink and green wallpaper, the den’s bold blue and yellow stripes, and the red pattern-filled speakeasy lounge are delightful surprises that keep you guessing what’s next.

The lepers carried the hooch to speakeasies known as “aunty bars”, often operated by families from Goa, an enclave colonized by the Portuguese and converted to Christianity.

On TV, Sinatra in black-and-white knocks on the door of a speakeasy in “The Joker is Wild.”
