This is the real-deal password ritual: the code changes every single day and the only way to get it is to call 208-342-4800 the day you plan to go. You walk down Union Alley off 8th Street, find a green light and a wooden skeleton-key sign above a door, knock, and whisper the password to be let into a 1920s-styled library room. Inside it leans hard into Prohibition theater with flapper attire, live music, and cocktails served as prohibition-era "prescriptions."

The move: Call for the day's password in the afternoon, then hunt down the green-lit door in Union Alley after dark and whisper your way into the library room.

📍 Before you go Daily password only available by calling 208-342-4800 the day you visit; reservations recommended.
