The drinks at Flying X Speakeasy Lounge
How the venue describes itself: “Established in 2023, the Flying X Speakeasy Lounge is a hidden gem in the heart of Pendleton, Oregon. Concealed behind an unassuming façade, this clandestine cocktail haven beckons those with a discerning taste for mystery and an appreciation for prohibition history. LGBTQ+ Owned” (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: Bee’s Knees, Southside, and Last Word are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.

Prohibition in Oregon
Oregon 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, Oregon already had an established illegal trade and the habits that went with it.
