FAQ About The Influence of Underground Speakeasies on Modern Nightlife
What was a speakeasy during the 1920s?
A speakeasy was an illicit establishment that sold alcoholic beverages during the Prohibition era in the United States, which lasted from 1920 to 1933. These venues were often hidden and required patrons to use a password or membership for entry, as alcohol sales were banned by law. Speakeasies became a symbol of the resistance to Prohibition and played a significant role in the era's social life.
