How do you get into The Speakeasy Tavern?
We have not confirmed it. The Speakeasy Tavern 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 Speakeasy Tavern
How the venue describes itself: “Fun dive bar with great food and drinks! Huge craft beer menu, great bartenders, NFL package, awesome patio. Trivia and live music. Lunch and dinner daily!” (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 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.

It is in the directory because its own name calls it a speakeasy and the map tags on the record include a speakeasy tag.
