Having recently had a speakeasy experience, I am alert to hidden bars.
Having your name over the door technically disqualifies you or rather your joint as a speakeasy!
All of these are technically not secret enough to be speaks, but they harbor a mystery.
Back alleys, belowstairs steps and small doors are also mysterious. Enough for me.

Okay, he thought, hope holding back his tears, it’s too soon. She’s not ready. I’ll wait til the summer, ask her at a baseball game. The Lakers kind of suck, anyway.
All The Best
