Say the password through a peephole to gain entrance to a real speakeasy from the Prohibition era owned by one of the more infamous gangsters in American history.  Learn about who some of the colorful characters were—the gangsters, entertainers and madams alike—who brought the crowds in and kept the parties rolling right under the authorities noses as you move from one pub to the next with nary a hint of scandal.  It will be the Bee's Knees!
