How do you get into The Mountainsté Chalet?
We have not confirmed it. The Mountainsté Chalet 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 The Mountainsté Chalet
How the venue describes itself: “Find professionally managed vacation rentals and connect directly with trusted local vacation rental managers.” (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 North Carolina
North Carolina did not wait for the federal government. Statewide prohibition took effect here in 1909, eleven 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, North Carolina already had an established illegal trade and the habits that went with it.
