Detailed explanation-1: -A speakeasy, also called a blind pig or blind tiger, is an illicit establishment that sells alcoholic beverages, or a retro style bar that replicates aspects of historical speakeasies.
Detailed explanation-2: -speakeasy, also called blind pig or gin joint, place where alcoholic beverages are illegally sold, especially such establishments in the United States during Prohibition (1920–33). In more recent years the term has also applied to legal bars that are modeled on historical speakeasies.
Detailed explanation-3: -To cater to the very large population of people who still wished to drink, hidden bars and nightclubs were established in cities across the country. The term speakeasy is thought to have come from the patrons having to whisper (or, speak “easy”) when attempting to enter the hidden bar.
Detailed explanation-4: -Increasingly popular, the modern-day speakeasy is essentially just a bar meant to be shrouded in secrecy. Since alcohol is no longer illegal, these establishments hinge on the feeling of discreetness, often hidden inside other restaurants or other venues, and embodying a prohibition vibe, some with dim lighting.
