How do you get into Room 33?
We have not confirmed it. Room 33 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 Room 33
The current drinks list is published on the venue’s own site — see the menu.
Beyond what the venue publishes we have not verified a list, so what follows is the period rather than the bar: Sazerac, Ward Eight, and Scofflaw are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.
Where Room 33 sits
Room 33 is in Erie, Pennsylvania, in the county of the same name, in the Mid-Atlantic of the United States.

Prohibition in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania came under national prohibition on 17 January 1920, when the Eighteenth Amendment took effect and the Volstead Act defined an intoxicating beverage as anything above one half of one per cent alcohol — a threshold strict enough to close breweries that had expected to survive.
