Spirits of the Weird West
Did you know residents of Austin responded to Prohibition in the most creative ways? Everything from fake beer made in bathtubs to fake doctors prescribing alcoholic “medicine” was used to skirt the 18th amendment.
If people want to drink, they will find a way to drink, and Austin is only one of the many cities across the nation that found alternative routes to partake in happy hour. Some of the current bars in the city are remnants of the back-alley clubs and secret speakeasies of the 1920s. These public houses are the best places in downtown Austin to order liquid courage for your journey into the horrors of the city’s past.
