The Prohibition-Era Speakeasy

The Speakeasy recreates a hidden 1920s drinking establishment with period-inspired design, historical photographs, artifacts, exhibits, and cocktail service. The bar offers cocktails along with other alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages and food selections.

Menus, drink selections, food offerings, and special programs change over time, so guests planning around a particular item or experience should use the current Underground information.

Working Distillery and Tasting Experience

The Underground includes a working distillery centered on a copper still used to produce The Mob Museum’s house moonshine. Exhibits in the distillery explore bootlegging, rumrunning, medicinal alcohol, and government enforcement during Prohibition.

The Distillery Tasting is a separate experience rather than ordinary speakeasy access. Participants must be at least 13 years old, while the alcohol-sampling portion is restricted to guests age 21 or older.
