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.

National Absinthe Day: Absinthe Frappe | March 5-8 | $14
As the temperance movement began in the late 1800s, Absinthe bore the brunt of the teetotaler’s fight unlike any other spirit. The over proof French liquor had been falsely linked to hallucinations due to its wormwood content and was subsequently banned in Europe in the early 1900s. In America, the licorice spirit was banned from 1912 until 2007 when the FDA and TTB legalized Absinthe sans thujone, the compound found in untreated wormwood. This Absinthe Day, celebrate with the Absinthe Frappe, crafted with Absente Absinthe, Sambuca, simple syrup for sweetness and a pinch of salt for balance.
St. Patrick's Day Cocktail: The County Cork | March 14-17 | $14
By the early 20th century, Americans were already the largest consumers of Irish whiskey, but the U.S.’s decade of Prohibition was nearly the downfall of Ireland’s beloved export. Many Irish distillers were forced to close when America went dry. However, the taste for Irish whiskey never totally evaporated. While celebrating Ireland’s patron saint this St. Patrick’s Day, experience The Underground’s sip inspired by Irish distillers - The County Cork. The cocktail blends Carpano Antica, Dry Curacao, a couple dashes of absinthe and Midleton, County Cork, Ireland’s very own Jameson Irish Whiskey.
All Underground food and beverage promotions cannot be combined with any other discount, offer or promotion. Must be 21+
