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.
The drinks at The Vault Speakeasy
How the venue describes itself: “Step back in time at The Vault, Colorado Springs’ premier 1920s speakeasy experience featuring craft cocktails, live jazz, and unforgettable events.” (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: Sazerac, Vieux Carré, and Scofflaw are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.

Prohibition in Colorado
Colorado did not wait for the federal government. Statewide prohibition took effect here in 1916, four 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, Colorado already had an established illegal trade and the habits that went with it.
