How do you get into Boulder Speakeasy?

The drinks at Boulder Speakeasy
How the venue describes itself: “Boulder Speakeasy is Toastmasters club #4780, meeting Friday at noon in Boulder, Colorado.” (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: Bee’s Knees, Southside, and Last Word 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.
