THE SPEAKEASY

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.

The Underground's 6th Anniversary Cocktails | Available April 15-21 | $15

Mezcal It's the Berries
Prohibition-era slang, "it’s the berries" meant something was simply the best. This blend of mezcal, blackberries, lychee syrup and a squeeze of lime is… well, it’s the berries!

Nothing Noble
First known as the Noble Experiment, Prohibition was later deemed an utter failure as sales of black market liquor flourished. This cocktail celebrates one of the era’s most bootlegged spirits, rye whiskey — this time expertly crafted and paired with pineapple amaro, ginger liqueur and a dash of bitters.

Juice & Juniper
As regulations went out the window and the quality of liquor became less refined, gin’s popularity sky-rocketed in the 1920’s because of its key ingredient — juniper oil. The oil’s ability to mask the taste of poorly produced liquor ensured its place in speakeasies across America. The flavor and quality of gin has come a long way over the last century and this cocktail exemplifies its refined resurgence. Combining gin, Lillet Blanc, grapefruit liqueur and a dash of cardamon bitters, this sip will reinvent how you think of gin.

Woodrow's Wash
President Woodrow Wilson did what he could to prevent the passing of Prohibition in 1919, but his efforts were a wash. After he vetoed the Volstead Act, congress went on to override the President with a vote of 65 to 25 in the Senate. Though incredibly unpopular with the American public, Prohibition went into effect in January of 1920. Over a century later, this blend of tequila, lemongrass syrup, lime juice, egg white and Thai basil leaves in a coconut oil fat-washed coupe glass might just make up for Woodrow’s failure.

All Underground food and beverage promotions cannot be combined with any other discount, offer or promotion. Must be 21+

BEE'S KNEES

The Bee’s Knees was a popular Prohibition-era drink. Its name is an homage to dancer Bee Jackson, who is credited with popularizing the Charleston. Jackson’s exposed knees were the talk of Broadway and beyond. Our twist on the classic cocktail adds jalapeno for a little kick that’s sure to make you dance.

MARLOW

Inspired by a bourbon lover with a soft spot for sherry, this secret twist on a classic marries richness with velvety smooth textures to bring out one sexy sip packed with refreshing no-nonsense and a hint of sass.

MOONSHINE MAYHEM

When Al Capone moved to Miami in the late 1920s, the tropical climate inspired his in-house bartender to invent more exotic drinks. This cocktail boasts a rich palette of flavors, including pineapple, tea and cardamom. When delicate spices meet Mob Museum Moonshine, only Mayhem can result.
