On the Grid : The Drifter

"In the Roaring Twenties, a green door at the front of a restaurant signified to rule breakers that there was a speakeasy inside. The Green Door Tavern’s secret bar has been closed for years - until recently. Behind a bookcase in the basement, you will find The Drifter - a club located in the only remaining speakeasy room from the twenties. Patrons will find classic cocktails and live performances that hearken back to days in Chicago when Capone ran the streets and the Everley sisters ran the sheets." - One Design Company
