"Leave it to the Mob Museum to recreate a Prohibition-era speakeasy complete with a daily password, jazz performances, and its own working moonshine distillery. The bar makes for a theatrical nightcap—get the tea and cardamom-infused Moonshine Mayhem—after touring the museum’s gunshot-pocked wall from the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre and the historic courtroom where mobsters were questioned. Or you can slip around the back, find the right door, and provide the password. (Hint: Check themuseum’s website.) Inside, brick walls are lined with 1920s exhibits, including flapper outfits, vintage photos, and artifacts like a discreet Prohibition-era cocktail kit disguised as a leather briefcase. Don’t miss the fish tanks near the bathrooms, which tell the story of a tugboat that vanished in 1922, later found loaded with bootleg liquor." - Janna Karel
