How do you get into Roaring Social Decatur?
We have not confirmed it. Roaring Social Decatur is in the directory because it calls itself a speakeasy, and that is the whole of what we can stand behind about its door.
The drinks at Roaring Social Decatur
How the venue describes itself: “Try something different at Roaring Social, our throwback speakeasy bar in Decatur, Georgia.” (from its own website, retrieved 9 October 2026)
Beyond what the venue publishes we have not verified a list, so what follows is the period rather than the bar: French 75, Clover Club, and Aviation are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.

Prohibition in Georgia
Georgia did not wait for the federal government. Statewide prohibition took effect here in 1908, twelve years before the Eighteenth Amendment came into force nationally on 17 January 1920. By the time the Volstead Act was being enforced across the country, Georgia already had an established illegal trade and the habits that went with it.
