Places where alcohol was sold illegally were called?

Places where alcohol was sold illegally were called "speakeasies" during Prohibition in the United States. These secret bars or clubs operated covertly, often requiring a passWord for entry. The term reflects the discreet nature of these establishments, where patrons could enjoy drinks despite the ban on alcohol sales. Speakeasies became cultural icons of the Roaring Twenties, symbolizing rebellion against restrictive laws.
