In the days of Prohibition (1920-1933), these were the explosive ingredients of the American speakeasies: clubs that served alcohol illegally when the government prohibited even its production and transport. They were frequented by gangsters such as Al Capone and Lucky Luciano and have become the symbol of an epoch immortalised by many films.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"new\" speakeasies are inspired by the typical unmistakable atmosphere of the early 20th century, when it was necessary to speak under your breath not to arouse the suspicions of the law. These trendy bars have often been conceived by keen bartenders, who rediscovered the tastes of the mixed drinking of the '20s and '30s. Specially-made furniture, refined cocktails, entrance by invitation only, themed dress codes, locations without addresses, vintage atmosphere... nowadays, the speakeasy is living a second life, a renaissance that is, first of all, a matter of taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCocktails are now high-quality, sophisticated, and above all, legal, but entering these clubs we jump into the past. \u003cem\u003eSpeakeasy\u003c\/em\u003e will lead you to the discovery of the most famous current speakeasies, opening the doors to a hidden but charming world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072364429548,"sku":"9781627951319","price":12.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/16932263482767.jpg?v=1765098093"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/maurizio-maestrelli.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
