Speakeasy Simulator

The year is 1923. Alcohol is illegal, but business keeps flowing. Behind closed doors, barrels of illicit liquor are crafted, and the law is always watching. It's time to build your own underground operation. In Speakeasy Simulator, you'll manage every detail of your secret bar and distillery. Your goal is simple: produce, sell, and expand while staying one step ahead of the police.

  • Produce & Distill Alcohol: Transform fruits, vegetables, cereals, and other ingredients into fine illegal spirits while controlling quality, quantity, and production flow.
  • Design Your Bar & Laboratory: Optimize layouts for production, storage, and service to keep customers happy and profits flowing.
  • Sell Your Products: Sell in bulk to the mafia for fast cash or serve drinks per glass to your bar's clientele for higher long-term profit.
  • Bar Decoration & Customization: Customize furniture, lighting, walls, floors, and décor to personalize your speakeasy and unlock new options through reputation.
  • Customer Demands Matter: Each visitor has specific expectations regarding alcohol type, quantity, and quality—meeting them builds reputation and income.
  • Evade Police Patrols: Watch out for police patrols while transporting contraband and avoid unwanted attention that could shut down your operation.
