"Yo I was demoing this old speakeasy and I found a pack of smokes in a walled up room u Wana try one?"
(actually speakeasies referred to illegal bars during prohibition from 1920-33, while the cigarettes came out in 1952 🤓 (unless it continued to be used as a slang term in the 50s))
They continued to operate as bars once bars were legal but often had major renovations since they no longer had to be hidden. A few friends of mine lived in one. Only house I've ever been in that had a larger basement than the house.
Technically speakeasies are still a thing, but afaik they're more modern "underground" bars rather than literally prohibition-era speakeasies
