Entry No. 3 — the Minneapolis file — filed under: speakeasy

Volstead's Emporium

Tucked down a dark alley behind a nondescript door with a single red light, this classic speakeasy features a sliding peephole, secret passageways, and velvet booths. The dimly lit space hosts live jazz, comedy, and classic burlesque shows.

The move: Request a cozy booth when making a reservation, watch a live burlesque or jazz performance, and sip on classic, strong Prohibition-era cocktails.
