Behind the graffitied facade of what seems to be a crumbling edifice in Strasbourg-Saint Denis, you\u2019ll find one. Or in the back of a tiny taco shop, another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The speakeasy has made its way to Paris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hidden bars, or \u201cspeakeasies,\u201d were originally an American invention, designed in the 1920s for moonshiners looking for a fix during a time when alcohol was prohibited. In those days, they were the lairs of mustachioed men in bowler caps and women dressed as flappers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nearly a century later, the idea has gone global. There are speakeasies in New York, London, Singapore. Just about anywhere people drink cocktails, there is a hidden bar. Paris hasn\u2019t been immune to this trend, going from just one or two hidden bars in the early 2010s to at least a dozen today. <\/p>\n\n\n
