Which of these items would be bought in a 'speakeasy'?

I could never see why they banned alcohol in the states must have been a very miserable time.

Scottish Fraulein, why oh why be so confrontational with other players? They are fully entitled to their own opinions 🙄

yes, they had some fun, back in the day, even if it was illegall!!

being from the UK it has a different meaning to me. But learnt something new today 👍

" speakeasy" never heard about this word in connection to bootlegging . great info.

Melode, The Temperance Movement of the Protestant Church is what was responsible for pushing legislation to ban alcohol. The mob took advantage of the situation by funneling blackmarket booze to the masses. So, the Church was inevitably responsible for lining the pockets of gangsters and solidifying their power structure in the U.S. The Temperance Movement failed in every way except by creating the biggest, bloodiest crime wave in American history. Good Christians...

I like going to a bar/pub with a speakeasy theme, it gives a retro feeling of what some of our ancestors went through to have a drink

Should've got this from the song in Bugsy Malone ..Fat Sam's speakeasy

THESE SPEAK EASYS WERE WHAT STARTED THE GANGSTER ERA IN THE 20S AND 30S. THE ONLY WAY TO GET ALCOHOL, WAS TO GO TO A SPEAKEASY. OR TO HAVE A HIDDEN STILL.

Cozzy 25, The word speakeasys has no apostrophe. 😎
