Dip the bill at Chicago’s only, not-so-secret Speakeasy Cinema.

Every month, this cozy cabaret-style screening treats Chicago film fans to Prohibition-era films, craft cocktails, and live jazz vibes. Get ready for classic gangster flicks handpicked by Raul Benitez, live jazz tunes by Alchemist Connections, and mouthwatering house-made Old Fashioneds that’ll have you purring “the bee’s knees.”

Seating is very limited, tickets include 1 drink token, and non-alcoholic options are available for audience members under 21. To purchase tickets click on a film option below.
