How do you get into The Velvet Room Speakeasy?
We have not confirmed it. The Velvet Room 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 The Velvet Room Speakeasy
How the venue describes itself: “The Velvet Room Go back in time & immerse yourself in the golden age of prohibition, where you can indulge in fine wine & custom craft cocktails.” (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: Adonis, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.

Prohibition in Tennessee
Tennessee did not wait for the federal government. Statewide prohibition took effect here in 1909, eleven 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, Tennessee already had an established illegal trade and the habits that went with it.
