THE SPEAKEASY
Travel back in time to the Prohibition era, when thousands of speakeasies operating in hard-to-find places satisfied the nation’s thirst for forbidden spirits.
Informative and entertaining exhibits, videos and artifacts tell the stories of the Roaring Twenties, which saw the rise of flappers, jazz and the Mob. The speakeasy exhibit is built around a well-stocked bar with a hand-crafted cocktail menu, and weekly live music, creating a lively environment inspired by that bygone age.
SPEAKEASY HOURS & LOCATION
Monday–Wednesday: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

SPEAKEASY PROMOTIONS
Pisco Sour | Available February 1-3
With its popularity dating back to the 1920s, the invention of the Pisco Sour is credited to American bartender Victor Vaughen Morris. Morris had moved to Peru, following wealthy Utah resident A.W. McCune to the country after McCune had facilitated a mining contract in the Andes. Morris opened a bar and ran out of whiskey during an event celebrating the completion of a railway. To save the celebration, Morris improvised a new drink using Peru’s signature spirit – the Pisco Sour.
National Margarita Day | Available February 21-23
It took off in popularity as a Tequila Daisy in the 1930s, but since Prohibition’s end, the Daisy went through several renditions and is now best known as a Margarita. Celebrating the cocktail’s longtime popularity, this National Margarita Day The Underground is serving up a Blueberry Basil Margarita, crafted with blueberry syrup, Jose Cuervo tequila, fresh lime juice, triple sec, agave and fresh basil leaves.
All Underground food and beverage promotions cannot be combined with any other discount, offer or promotion. Must be 21+
