The Speakeasy, Newburg, WI

The Speakeasy located in Newburg is the perfect place to catch some tasty bar grub and drinks. We also recommend the Speakeasy to watch the big game. This bar offers games, great drinks, and top-notch service. There is always something going on at the Speakeasy. 

Maxwell Mansion, Lake Geneva, WI

This traditional speakeasy will really make you feel like you’re in the 1920s. Much like in the 1920s, the Maxwell Mansion requires a password upon entering the bar. Hotel guests and Facebook followers will get clues as to what the password is. Maxwell Mansion is the place to be in Lake Geneva.

Hank’s SpeakEZ, Hartford, WI

Hank’s SpeakEZ is a hidden gem located in Hartford. They’re open from Wednesday to Saturday. Make sure you pick the correct door to enter because there’s no sign outside (like most speakeasies in its day.) The lengthy drink menu is perfectly paired with their comfy lounge or a game of pool or darts!

Shaker’s Cigar Bar, Milwaukee, WI

Shaker’s Cigar Bar is a unique smoking and drinking establishment in downtown Milwaukee. Their fully stocked bar dates back to Capone’s Speakeasy days during the prohibition. Shaker’s has won multiple awards for excellence in Wisconsin. You’ll love their cozy old-school atmosphere when Professor Pinkerton & The Magnificent plays every First Thursday of the month. 

Speakeasy, Neillsville, WI

The Speakeasy in Neillsville is a fun bar and grill located in central Wisconsin. Their Silver Dollar, outdoor bar area, is the perfect place to sit around and have a couple of drinks. They have tons of different specials and brunch menus for those looking for a little substance throughout the day. Stop by this famous little Speakeasy today!
