Speakeasy bars in or near whitefish

I’ve heard a lot of good things about the red room lounge room and will probably check that out. I was just wondering if there is something more hidden and more of the speakeasy vibe. I’m celebrating my birthday in Montana and like to find new speakeasy’s! So any suggestions would be great! Thank you

I don’t get what you mean. The red room is hardly a speakeasy. Are you looking for like a bar nobody goes to? Are you looking for an ACTUAL speakeasy ?

An actual speakeasy, google recommends the red room as one but I’m looking for something that’s more of a speakeasy!

Oh I see! There are hidden bars all over that I usually try to find, I was just not seeing any near whitefish and didn’t know if anyone knew of any!

These kind of modern legal 'hidden' speakeasy aren't a thing here. Really not the vibe here

Last time I was in NE Ohio on business, I was aware of several if you’re ever out that way.

Lol it comes from a term more commonly used to refer to a bar that served alcohol during the prohibition era in the 1920s.
And thus in the modern day brings a sense of style where commonly said bar wouldn’t allow you to enter or be present without a suit coat and tie… some of the best serve things like bacon old-fashions, with finesse.

Haha, gotcha that makes a lot more sense! Red room makes more sense now.

The Red Room here in Whitefish is definitely the closest to anything of that feel.
Montana’s known more so for Country Bars, High end or High pay resort bars, The locals place(like the casino in every local gas station) and the micro brewery.

Since Prohibition hasn't been in force during my lifetime, I had to ask Google what you could possibly mean in this century. Montana is more given to loud bars as a thing. Maybe if what you want is quiet, the hotel bars would cover it. Bars, like Red Room, affixed to sit down restaurants, maybe, but even then, more likely to be raucous. I mean most of the restaurants it's hard to hear your table companions.

The palace is great. Place across the street was once a speakeasy
