How did people gain access to speakeasy?

People gained access to speakeasies during Prohibition by using secret passWords, membership cards, or by knowing someone who was already a patron. These illicit bars often had hidden entrances, and patrons would discreetly enter to avoid attracting attention. Additionally, Word of mouth and social connections played a significant role in spreading information about these underground venues. The atmosphere was typically exclusive, creating a sense of adventure and secrecy.
