Bees Knees Speakeasy

Presented by 4 the Love of Bourbon

Lovers of the 1920 era’s music, drinks, dancing, gangsters and clothes will be transported back in time to the Prohibition Era at the Bees Knees Speakeasy at the Harrison Opera House on Saturday, October 28th.

The 1920’s Prohibition Era was fertile ground for organized crime. Gangsters like Al Capone, Vito Genovese, Dutch Schultz, Jack "Legs" Diamond, Charles "Lucky" Luciano, John Dillinger, and Bugsy Siegel ran and controlled bootlegging, speakeasys and gambling across the country. Depression era outlaws with names like Bonnie and Clyde, "Baby Face" Nelson, Ma Barker, and "Pretty Boy" Floyd, also became legends, as their deeds included some of the wildest and deadliest stories ever to hit newspaper front pages.

Set during the 1920's, this evening promises to be filled with jazz music, swing and Charleston dancing, great barrel aged drinks being served from the era; bourbon to “bathtub gin”, food and silent movies. You will even have a password to get in the door.
