Speakeasy Etiquette 101: 12 Rules Every Guest Should Know at Red Phone Booth
Speakeasies live and breathe through tradition. At Red Phone Booth, our house rules preserve the spirit of Prohibition while ensuring every guest enjoys a refined and authentic experience. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a longtime member, these rules are your guide to stepping back into the 1920s with style.
The Rules of the House:
Try something new, we won't disappoint.
Gentlemen always offer your seat to a lady.
Appropriate dress is required.
No crying and no yawning at the bar. We are neither your mother nor your bed.
You are responsible for the behavior of your guests. Please bring only those whom you would leave alone in your house for the weekend.
Yes, the drinks are not cheap. You can dine on Kobe beef or on sirloin at Sizzler. We are not Sizzler.
Perfection takes time. Please be patient.
If you don't love your drink, please let us know. We will prepare one that you do.
Drunkenness is prohibited. Please don't act like an amateur. If you are drunk, call it a night. We will call you a cab, and don't call your ex.
No, we don't serve Fireball, nor do we serve energy drinks. But can we interest you in 130 proof Absinthe, so potent that it was outlawed for almost a century?
We are in the business of exceeding your expectations. If we don't, please call us out on it.
The guest is always right except when they are wrong.
These rules aren't just etiquette — they're part of what makes Red Phone Booth America's #1 speakeasy.
