Bali’s first and only true Speakeasy bar. Baker Street Social, Bali’s first and only true Speakeasy bar. We are a specialty cocktail bar, speakeasy, that’s focuses on cocktails, conversations and camaraderie. Oh and we love to break the rules 😉! Speakeasy Bars originated in the 1920’s as an illicit establishment that sells alcoholic beverages. Such establishments came into prominence during the Pr
ohibition era
And it all started with ever so naughty lady ‘the queen of the night clubs” Texas Guinan
Texas was arrested several times for serving alcohol and providing entertainment, she always claimed that the patrons had brought the liquor in with them, and the club was so small that the girls had to dance close to the customers. Guinan maintained that she had never sold an alcoholic drink in her life. Texas Guinan entertained at her Speakeasy bars the wealthy, celebrities, socialites and gangsters. Her clubs were routinely being raided by the police. Texas Guinan has been credited with coining a number of phrases. She referred to her well-off patrons as "butter and egg men" and she traditionally greeted her patrons with "HELLO, SUCKERS!”
Texas was known to hold lavish parties which the elite of society would attend but her Speakeasy bars were always hidden behind a closed doors! We love Texas Guinan at Baker Street Social and focus on quality libations & craft spirits. Baker Street Social -between the Indian and Greek restaurants ....there's a little door.... try finding us SUCKERS!
