Speakeasies were clandestine bars and clubs that operated during the Prohibition era in the United States, from 1920 to 1933. They were often hidden in basements, back rooms, or behind unmarked doors of legitimate businesses, such as soda shops or restaurants, to evade law enforcement. The term "speakeasy" originated from patrons who spoke quietly or "easily" to avoid drawing attention while ordering drinks. These establishments became popular social hubs for entertainment and Jazz Music.
