How do you get into The Censored Shop?
We have not confirmed it. The Censored Shop is in the directory because it calls itself a speakeasy, and that is the whole of what we can stand behind about its door.
Drinks of the era
We have not seen this venue’s own list, so what follows is the period rather than the bar: Mary Pickford, El Presidente, and Hotel Nacional Special are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.

Prohibition in Nebraska
Nebraska did not wait for the federal government. Statewide prohibition took effect here in 1917, three 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, Nebraska already had an established illegal trade and the habits that went with it.
