How do you get into The Honor Roll?
We have not confirmed it. The Honor Roll 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 The Honor Roll
How the venue describes itself: “Set in an 1899 schoolhouse in the heart of Valparaiso, our space has been restored to inspire moments of deep relaxation, unscripted discovery, and seamless connection with our community.” (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: Sazerac, Ward Eight, and Scofflaw are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.

Prohibition in Indiana
Indiana did not wait for the federal government. Statewide prohibition took effect here in 1918, two 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, Indiana already had an established illegal trade and the habits that went with it.
