WELCOME TO BAR ONE NINETEEN…

a speakeasy experience

 
 

THE SPEAKEASY EXPERIENCE

 During prohibition it was illegal to operate alcohol drinking establishments. This forced many to get creative, thus came the speakeasy which means to speak soft and do not be heard. Naturally the speakeasy drinking establishments were hidden in order to be kept secret from law enforcement as these establishments were breaking the law during the time of prohibition.

Of course the era of prohibition is long gone but what we believe has stayed established is this desire to be included in something exclusive just as the environments the original speakeasy bars of the prohibition era hosted.

LOCATION + PUBLIC ACCESS

BAR ONE NINETEEN is hidden in the lower level of Boxed and Burlap’s downtown building located at 230 E. Walworth Ave. Delavan WI. The bar is open to the public. Yes you read that correctly! The rumors that BAR ONE NINETEEN is private or that you must have a membership to enter, are incorrect..

ENTERING WITHOUT A MEMBERSHIP

Ask one of Boxed and Burlap’s baristas or the main level wine + beer bar staff. They will let you in on the secret.

Feeling more adventurous?
Read Boxed and Burlap’s secret menu carefully all the way to the bottom. The answer is there, we promise, but you will still need to stop by and see the staff at the espresso bar or the main level wine + beer bar before heading downstairs.

THE NAME…119

ONE NINETEEN served as a personal home address for over 30 years, holding countless memories, thus ONE NINETEEN felt like home in the decision to name this establishment. We hope to achieve a wonderful progressive place filled with quality people to make memories, enjoy each other along with amazing spirits + cocktails.

A membership to BAR ONE NINETEEN is a commitment of that same vision.
You can walk into many bars but to enter ONE NINETEEN means you truly desire to be here, a part of something distinctive.
