About
Discover a 1920s Prohibition speakeasy secreted in a smooth alley serving fantastic spirits, bourbons, moonshine and cocktails. Play some pool while silent black and white gangster movies flicker on the exposed brick wall, or just enjoy a clandestine cocktail and conversation. Just enter clean Smith Alley from Front Street, walk up a few steps, knock on the door with a peek-a-boo sliding window—no password is needed. Choose from their menu filled with Bourbon options from the sublime to the budget conscious or watch the chalk board for special Elixirs concocted by their mixologists. Join them for special events like Jazz Piano, Whiskey Tastings, Great Gatsby Party, and more. For a private, cozy atmosphere, investigate their VIP Volstead Room, named for Andrew Volstead. the "Father of Prohibition." Come visit them and experience why USA Today named them one of their 2025 Best Bars.
