"Generally, Speakeasy Bars are bars behind closed doors offering exclusive cocktails and food menu items in a restricted environment that is only accessible to a few. ... Many believe the "Speakeasy" concept has origins back to the first decades of the 20th century, in the city of New York during prohibition."
It is the idea that you need to know where the entrance is and how to get in. There are some tricky ones. "Private and Confidential" for example in Desa Sri Hartamas. I literally stood right in front of the door once, touching it, not knowing that it is the way in.
Just how cool would it be if one had managed to run an underground bar like that through the lockdown. Something that only true insiders know and that is not advertised anywhere. Not on Faccebook or Instagram. Imagine such place would have been open the last 18 months and people from the hood would sneak into, not bragging about it, not telling many. Something in a back alley, down some stairs and around a corner. With a hidden buzzer and no light over the door or any other tell-tale signs. Maybe with the suppliers sending the booze and food to several different apartments and someone comes to consolidate...Like a real underground network!
Now, THAT would be a speakeasy!
