A speakeasy! There is a secret entrance and everything!

A modern speakeasy isn't illegal like the real ones from the 1920s but how does this qualify as one? It's not hidden, underground, or secret. It's easily recognized as a bar with a main entrance, patio, and you can even see booze displayed on the shelves from outside this place. Just turning the lights down low doesn't make a bar a speakeasy.

It's a very nice looking restaurant/bar chain from Alberta.

I have a lot of admiration for the company Collective Arts Brewery, but last summer at Bathurst and Dundas they had a “pop-up mocktail speakeasy” and I’m just like “bitch, that’s a lemonade stand”.

Fairly cringe.
 
I was thinking of this, but one says “SPEAKEASY HERE”
