Welcome to Moonshine, Leicester’s very own time capsule to the glitz and glamour of the 1920s! Tucked away at 91 High Street, this hidden gem whispers secrets of the speakeasy era through its dimly lit, velvet-draped corridors. Picture yourself in an elegant attire, stepping into a world where the rhythmic heartbeat of jazz sets the pace for a night filled with mischief and merriment. The air is thick with the sweet scent of whiskey and the tantalizing promise of a night to remember. As you descend into our underground lair, the modern world fades away, revealing a meticulously crafted speakeasy adorned with vintage chandeliers, polished mahogany, and plush leather armchairs. The walls are lined with bookshelves that hide more than just literature; they hold the essence of a time when the Charleston ruled the dance floor and the whispers of gangster lore filled the air.
Their cocktail menu is a love letter to the Prohibition Era, featuring timeless classics like the Bee’s Knees, Sidecar, and our signature Moonshine Mule, all mixed to perfection by our dapper bar staff. Each libation is a testament to the craftsmanship and flair of the mixologists who once served the elite in the shadows of the law. Let the smoothness of our libations guide you through a night of revelry, as you sip and saver the flavours that define the era of the speakeasy. But the real soul of Moonshine is found in the music that fills our intimate venue. Live bands serenade the room with a vibrant fusion of wonky jazz, blues, and soul tunes that echo the spirit of the Roaring Twenties. The saxophone wails, the piano croons, and the sultry vocals wrap around you like a warm embrace, inviting you to lose yourself in the dance. The stage is a hotbed of talent, showcasing the very best local and international acts that will have your toes tapping and your hips swaying all night long.
