Ogden’s Historic 25th Street has a rich history and a sordid past. In the early 1900s, this street was full of brothels, gambling and drugs, and during Prohibition the alcohol flowed freely.

Today, 25th Street is a vibrant place full of restaurants and shops, and it's also home to an Italian restaurant with a big secret.

...and go through the tunnel at the bottom until you get to a door.

The door says "Maintenance," but that's just part of the disguise. Knock on the door...

...and you'll be admitted to a secret, hidden speakeasy.
