bar stool Speakeasies were Prohibition’s worst-kept secrets. When Prohibition came into force on 17 January 1920, thousands of formerly legal, men-only saloons closed their doors across the country. Those wishing to drink had to buy alcohol from licensed chemists for ‘medicinal’ purposes, from clergymen for ‘religious’ reasons, or from illegal sellers known as ‘bootleggers’. Another option was to visit private, unlicensed bars, known as ‘speakeasies’ because of the ‘password’ that had to be whispered to gain entry without being overheard by the police.
