A true-crime cocktail experience where four infamous stories are told live on stage through the eyes of the killer is coming to Evansville. It's like being a part of a true crime documentary but with cocktails.

The term "speakeasy" dates back to the Prohibition era (1920-1933), when people would create a secret bar or nightclub that operated illegally. According to Restaurant Ware, the term "speakeasy" came from the need for patrons to "speakeasy" or quietly to avoid drawing attention to these hidden establishments, which often required a secret code to enter. Today, there are many establishments that recreate this idea of hidden, dim-lit, and unidentifiable bars as a modern-day speakeasy. One such pop-up speakeasy will be making its way to the Evansville area with a pretty unique and chilling theme.
