There are no Speakeasy SF spoilers in this post.
Saturday night, I took the "Little Lady" out to a Speakeasy in San Francisco. A few months ago we'd heard about this Speakeasy club where you were required to wear period 1920's era clothing, and no modern conveniences like cell phones, cameras, or credit cards were allowed.
We made our rather pricey reservations ($300 for the both of us total) and were told via email that at an appropriate time we'd "hear" from The Speakeasy with directions to the club. All I knew was that it was somewhere in the North Beach/Chinatown part of San Francisco.
On Friday night I got a text stating to go to a specific alley in SF and that at a very specific time I was supposed to walk down the alley and look for somebody wearing a specific outfit. Of course, there was a password. We were told, "Do not be late!" It was very secretive and exciting, and I have to admit I was a bit nervous. We went to where we were told, and sure enough, there was the person described. We gave the password and were given a map to closed business within a few blocks. It was about 8 pm +/-
Upon arrival, we were led down secret stairs, through hidden passages and disguised one way doors into an underground nightclub. For those who are wondering, this was all legal, lets just call it "Live Action Theater". Cabarat, casinos, saloons, sliding bookcases, 2-way mirrors, shady characters, and lots of drama! And we were in the middle of it.
