Hotel Speakeasies: Grab a Cocktail and Unwind
The Amway Grand Plaza Hotel- Grand Rapids, MI
Locals and guests alike sit back at the Lumber Baron Bar, the hidden speakeasy tucked inside of the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, to sip on a scotch by the fireplace and celebrate each day. With bar cuisine from Ruth Chris Steak House, it’s the perfect spot for late night theater-goers and book worms to close out the night.
Bar Argos located within Argos Inn- Finger Lakes Region, New York
Open to both guests of the inn and the public, visitors are invited to experience the craftsmanship of the custom zinc-top bar, two hundred year old handmade bricks and the beeswax finish on the pigmented plaster walls. Masterful bartenders guide patrons through the unique menu featuring both “historic preservation” and “local talent” selections.
Belhurst Castle – Finger Lakes, NY
Overlooking Seneca Lake, the Belhurst Castle (built in the 1800’s) was turned into a speakeasy and gambling casino in 1932, featuring liquor run from Canada through the Finger Lakes canal system. With Prohibition a thing of the past, guests can freely indulge at Belhurst Winery, before staying at Chambers in the Castle, featuring a complimentary wine tap built into the lobby wall.
