Summary

"Hidden entrances, low lights, soft music, smoke, women, crime and above all, alcohol--these were the explosive ingredients of speakeasies in the days of Prohibition. Today's speakeasies have adopted the unique vintage atmosphere of those establishments with specially-made furniture, refined cocktails, entrance by invitation only, themed dress codes, locations with no address and evocative auras. Speakeasies are back in vogue and their revival is first and foremost one of taste. This book helps you discover these places and introduces you to the signature cocktails they serve; it opens the door onto a world that is as fascinating as it is "hidden"."--Back cover
