Speakeasy

How do you get into Speakeasy?

We have not confirmed it. 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.

The drinks at Speakeasy

How the venue describes itself: “Bier Markt starts with an unrivaled Belgian Bier list complemented by select American Craft Beers to blend together the old and new worlds for a transcendent beer experience.” (from its own website, retrieved 9 October 2026)

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: French 75, Clover Club, and Aviation are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.

Prohibition in Ohio

Ohio 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.

It is in the directory because its own name calls it a speakeasy and the description in the source data describes it as a speakeasy.

Two independent open datasets, OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps, both carry this venue at this location. Agreement between them is the strongest existence check we can make without visiting.

The source data classifies the premises as a bar.
