How do you get into Sonoma Speakeasy?
We have not confirmed it. Sonoma Speakeasy is in the directory because it calls itself a speakeasy, and that is the whole of what we can stand behind about its door.

Prohibition in California
California 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.
