Speakeasies are exactly what they sound like, and super fun! It's a bit of an adventure to find them - they're usually a bit disguised, and often have a password.

Most of them offer specialty cocktails, but stock a full bar and will make whatever classic cocktail you're craving if you don't feel like trying something new.

Planning and finding speakeasies

In general, it’s a good idea to make reservations, especially if you’re more than two people. I cannot tell you how disappointing it is to finally track one down only to not get in the door!

I include locations here only because they’re easily available on the internet, given by the speakeasies themselves. In general, I’m all for the verbal descriptions to find the spots when there’s no address given – finding it is part of the fun!

Know before you go

In general, bring cash. The vast majority don’t do credit cards, if for no other reason than many are underground and the machines won't work!

Available for hire

Amateur Italian, travel advisor, and adventurous eater! I’m a travel creative living in small town northern Italy, and I've been planning travel for over 15 years. I've lived on three continents and visited over 40 countries, so I'm passionate about helping travelers experience the best of a location, no matter where! I love both/and travel: I want to see the big sights AND the local hangouts, the big cities AND the small towns. I’d love to help you do it too! If you’re going to Rome for the first time, you don’t need me to tell you to see the Colosseum. But you might want me to tell you if it’s better as a guided tour or on your own, what add-on’s are worth the money, and what are the extra secret things your ticket can get you! My favorite part of travel is eating well: finding the local haunts, tasting a new wine, and trying the local dishes. Amazing food doesn't have to be expensive: sometimes the best of a place is in the street food! But if it is a splurge, I'll make sure it's worth every penny. I'd love to work with you to create the trip of your dreams!
