The Speakeasy

A prohibition era themed speakeasy bar located just off the quaint historic square of Winterset, Iowa, which is famously known for the Bridges of Madison County. 

Step into the underground bar, nestled in the former Madisonian newspaper building, and be transported to the roaring twenties. Vintage newspaper decor and era-inspired interior design will have you feeling like you're in a lost era. Knowing that alcohol was once banned in Iowa as early as 1916, you'll feel just slightly naughty induldging in The Speakeasy's fun cocktails and local wines and beer.

Our mission is to provide entertainment and event opportunities usually found in larger cities, right here in the heart of Madison County. Enjoy live music, themed nights, and more - all in an intimate and immersive setting.  At The Speakeasy, we're dedicated to creating an unforgettable experience for our patrons. Join us for a night to remember, and become a part of our vibrant community!

We are open from 6-10 pm every Friday night (except major holidays). No reservations required. Come, sit back and relax after a long work week! With Boards and Blooms moving in upstairs, we'll continue to have availability of pre-ordered charcuterie boards if you want to make an evening of it.

Saturdays or Sundays will be open by special curated events that have proven to be a ton of fun! Please watch our website for those ticketed events.
