Introduction

While strolling down an average-looking street, a patron walks down the road and walks past a nondescript door that to them, feels as if it serves as an entrance that conceals and protects an entrance to a bygone era. This is the timeless allure of a speakeasy bar a seamless integration of craftsmanship, history and mystery culminating in a one-of-a-kind experience. For patrons seeking a diversion from the mundane, the ultimate beginning of a character and charm-filled adventure begins here.

Adventure Begins Before Stepping Through the Door

The first clue that you have discovered a speakeasy is that they more often than not have no sign at all. Instead of a sign, you may find yourself standing in front of a door, disguised as a foldable bookcase, an old-fashioned telephone appointment booth, or, more comically, a refrigerator in a small delicatessen. Fun begins the moment you stop and think:  

"Is this really the place?"

The uncertainty of the moment is part of the charm. Every guest in the speakeasy feels like they are unlocking a secret door or joining a private membership club where they offer craft cocktails in exchange for whispered words of old-world glamour.

After you step through the cleverly disguised door, all of the noise and chaos of the outside world disappear. There is some soft music that compliments the dimly lit room and the unique aromas of aged whiskey and followed the freshly squeezed herbs. It's like a trip back in time when the air was still, the nights were longer, drinks were slow hand-crafted, and stories shared between companions were soft and whispered.

Atmosphere - Mix of Class and Mystery

While each speakeasy bar has its own unique charm, a few features and designs have become standard in bar interiors. Deep leather seating, vintage lighting, and moody wood finishes. Designed lighting provides a soft golden glow around the space. The interior draws design elements from the 1920s, combining jazz and Art Deco designs, and integrating various antiques.

Customer are encouraged to enjoy the whole experience rather than just the drinks, and all aspects of the bar are designed around this idea. The ambiance of the bar is anchored to the cocktail tables set up under soft candle light. The calm interior allows conversations to flow smoothly while the sounds of laughter and clinking glasses gently combine.

The Attention and Time - an Art of Crafting an Cocktail

The true heart of each speakeasy dis is the bar. Unlike most bars, where drinks are crafted quickly, speakeasy bars  place greater focus on the art of drink creation. Here, cocktail creation is an art rather than a science, and each drink is a new opportunity to express creativity and emotional depth.
