Established in 1997 and located in the historic downtown area, the 2nd Street Speakeasy is Gainesville’s longest running cocktail bar and a place to socialize in a relaxed and cultured atmosphere. We offer an ever-evolving cocktail menu, which changes monthly in order to reflect the seasons. Most all of our produce is sourced from the Union St. Farmers Market, held just blocks away. At 2nd Street Speakeasy, our goal is to help reintroduce the craft of the cocktail to, while becoming a contributing member of, our community.

“If you need to get away from the fraternity types, here’s your great escape. 2nd Street Speakeasy pours intricate cocktails and has a retro-cool atmosphere. If Don Draper came to Gainesville this is where he would have a drink.” – Inked Magazine
