Prohibition in Arizona
Arizona came under national prohibition on 17 January 1920, when the Eighteenth Amendment took effect and the Volstead Act defined an intoxicating beverage as anything above one half of one per cent alcohol — a threshold strict enough to close breweries that had expected to survive.

What we have confirmed
For Fire & Sword Speakeasy we hold a name, a county and a map pin, and nothing else yet: no street address, telephone number, official website, social accounts, opening hours, a published drinks list, an online booking link, or a listed-building record. That is why this page is short, and why it is a draft rather than a listing.
It is in the directory because its own name calls it a speakeasy.
