Gaslight welcomes musicians, writers and poetry readers, and contemporary artists to relive the early days as well as to take part in their open-mic sessions held almost every night. The furniture is built from scratch by the founder, Johann Sultan. The rustic interior is filled with antics from the good old days, including the very familiar (and nostalgic) old-school light switches. Gaslight takes pride in bringing back the 60s and offers a similar historical style. Gaslight Cafe is a home for folk musicians, poets, and writers. Gaslight CafeĪlthough Gaslight isn’t actually a speakeasy bar, we feel that it belongs on this list because of its hidden nature. Opening hours: 5.00pm onward everyday Tuesday till Sunday 3.

P&C is located behind Naughty Nuri’s in Hartamas. Its decor displays a Wanted poster of Alphonso Gabriel (better known as Al-Capone), newspaper clippings from the 1920s, and truly illustrates our weird infatuation with the Prohibition era. P&C takes us back to the Prohibition era as it is the closest to replicating a 1920s speakeasy. P&C Image Credit: Eat Drink KL Image Credit: Eat Drink KL

If you prefer to find these places on your own (and be surprised), you may stop reading…now! 1. Spoilers Alert: This blog post contains information on finding these venues.

Thanks to bootlegging, gangsters remained in money while people remained intoxicated. The term ‘speakeasy’ came about during this time which translates into an illicit drinking spot. Did you know about the time when alcohol was made illegal (in America)? There was a nationwide constitutional ban on the sale, production, importation, distribution and transportation of alcoholic beverages from 1920 to 1933 this was known as the Prohibition Era.
