How do you get into The Vault Speakeasy?
We have not confirmed it. The Vault 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.
Drinks of the era
We have not seen this venue’s own list, so what follows is the period rather than the bar: Sazerac, Vieux Carré, and Scofflaw are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.
The building and the district
Documented — The Vault Speakeasy stands inside the Downtown Winder Historic District, a historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places under reference number 94000412. A district listing covers a group of properties rather than a single address, so the federal record establishes the age and character of the streetscape around this venue rather than of its own walls.

Prohibition in Georgia
Georgia did not wait for the federal government. Statewide prohibition took effect here in 1908, twelve 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, Georgia already had an established illegal trade and the habits that went with it.
