You are probably referring to a "speakeasy." There were a number of clubs that claimed to only be gathering places where people could listen to music and chat. But in reality, many of these private clubs had a secret back room where those who knew the password or had received an invitation could drink illegal beverages. Government agents often raided these clubs, but when one was closed down, another seemed to pop up and take its place.
