The secret is out…

Speakeasy, love… | Everyone loves to hear a little secret. It makes us feel special, like we’re part of an exclusive club, a chosen few. Such is the root of the appeal of speakeasy bars today. Back in the roaring ‘20s though, speakeasies were illicit establishments selling alcoholic beverages.

Take a step back in time, during the Prohibition – an era when alcohol was banned…

Best Speakeasy on the ENTERTAINER: I Know John

Enticed by the allure of a secret bar and dying for a break from the usual LKF scene? Head to I Know John, a contemporary speakeasy on Wellington Street in Central. The name of this sophisticated private lounge is an homage to the practice of using passwords to enter underground nightclubs during the Prohibition. Add to that creative cocktails like the Salt Bae, carefully curated whiskey and wine lists, and a rustic industrial décor, lead by an imposing 16-foot bar and a terrace overlooking Wellington Street, et voila! You’ve got yourself a joint that carries on the legacy of a mystifying speakeasy.

We were lucky to see Prive Group’s group mixologist Max Gurung behind the bar when we dropped by I Know John. Max proceeded to dazzle us his flair bartending skills. What a treat to see it up close!

The secret is out. We won’t be surprised if this one spreads like wildfire. Experience the jazzy age of the ‘20s at I Know John. Buy one get one free offers from the ENTERTAINER are available here, natch.
