How do you get into Thaxton Speakeasy?
We have not confirmed it. Thaxton 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 Thaxton Speakeasy
How the venue describes itself: “Secretly serving vintage vibes since 2007. This juice joint is password-protected and located in the swanky lower level of a circa 1920s Art Deco building.” (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: Corpse Reviver No. 2, White Lady, and Twentieth Century are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.

Prohibition in Missouri
Missouri 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.
