New York speakeasies operated primarily during Prohibition, which lasted from 1920 to 1933. These clandestine bars emerged as a response to the nationwide ban on alcohol, allowing patrons to enjoy drinks in secret. Speakeasies often featured hidden entrances and required passwords for entry, becoming a symbol of the Jazz Age and the vibrant nightlife of the Roaring Twenties.
