ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 A hidden bar experience is making its return to Universal Orlando Resort this summer.<\/p>\n

Universal says the 600 Block Speakeasy has reopened at Universal CityWalk, transporting guests to the 1920s with its Prohibition-era theme. The experience features secret passwords, live music, specialty cocktails, and light bites.<\/p>\n

According to Universal, the speakeasy officially reopened on April 9 and will remain open through August 23 for guests ages 21 and older.<\/p>\n

Inspired by New Orleans speakeasies from the Prohibition era, the venue is named after the street where the first Pat O\u2019Brien\u2019s opened in New Orleans.<\/p>\n

To access the hidden bar, guests must find a special membership card with clues to a secret password.<\/p>\n

Inside, the speakeasy features themed d\u00e9cor, dim lighting, jazz-inspired music, and signature cocktails such as the Ros\u00e9 75, Water Lily, and Gilded Old Fashioned.<\/p>\n

Universal says live music is offered Thursday through Saturday, along with themed menu items like beignets, deviled eggs, and dirty rice.<\/p>\n
