Nightlife is just about everywhere these days, so it’s hard to believe that a hundred years ago, a drink on a night out could get you tossed in the ol’ hoosegow. We’re all glad that Prohibition is a thing of the past, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t leave some very interesting marks on our culture. We’re still fascinated by the history of the era, especially those famous speakeasies where the booze kept flowing away from the eyes of the law. Those speakeasies aren’t needed anymore, with most people drinking in large pubs and cocktail lounges these days. Still, there’s something charming about hidden havens for fine drinks – and one hotel speakeasy in Iowa is bringing back the tradition. In Confidence, a secretive bar in the Hotel Fort Des Moines, is serving up craft cocktails with a roaring twenties theme, and we’re ready to take you inside the coolest new bar in Des Moines.
