The Varsity Room Speakeasy

The Varsity Room Speakeasy

The Varsity Room Speakeasy is a genuine piece of Prohibition-era history — an original speakeasy hidden behind the Tom Quick Inn, found only by locating the 'Red Light' that marks its entrance. Every wall carries decades of history: names and initials etched by generations of patrons, vintage handmade college pennants, and reportedly a few carved by past American presidents. The bar keeps the era's spirit alive with signature cocktails like the Smoked Old Fashioned, served in a room that looks and feels exactly like the roaring-'20s hideaway it once was.
