We have not confirmed it. The Speakeasy at Highwind 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 Speakeasy at Highwind
How the venue describes itself: “Come for the food, stay for the beer. Highwind Brewing Co. offers scratch-made pizza, salads, burgers, bowls, brunch, and house-brewed craft beer in a lively downtown space.” (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 Kansas
Kansas did not wait for the federal government. Statewide prohibition took effect here in 1881, 39 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, Kansas already had an established illegal trade and the habits that went with it.
