Bentonville History Museum

Speakeasy Soiree
2024-06-29 18:00 - 21:00 (America/Chicago) | Bentonville Brewing Company, 901 SW 14th St, Bentonville, 72712, United States
The word speakeasy came from “speak-softly shops,” illegal drinking establishments in England and Ireland in the 19th century. The name referenced the need for secrecy; customers were asked to speak quietly while inside to avoid detection.

Come join us for a swanky speakeasy soiree!
Put on your glad rags and step out in style. It’s going to be the cat’s pajama – an evening of jazz, glamour, and prohibition-era fun. Be there or be square!
Saturday, June 29th from 6-9pm.
