Speakeasies were established during the prohibition era  in an effort to provide cocktails and illegal bootleg alcohol to thirsty consumers.  They were secret bars, or merely secret rooms in functioning establishments where only a few select people were invited to frequent.  The name “Speak-Easy” even refers to the quiet and hushed voices patrons would have to use while there to avoid being found.  With the re-legalization of alcohol, speakeasies began to disappear, however over the last decade New York City has
