The 1920s Dry Law in the United States brought the speakeasy, so called because of the practice of speaking quietly about such a place in public, or when inside it, so as not to alert the police or neighbors. In 1932, this law was abolished, but the aesthetics of this clandestine premises persisted and marked the style of the Golden Age of Hollywood, which today can be revived in the border area of ​​Malasaña, in Harvey's Cocktail Bar on Calle Fuencarral, 70.

 

The venue is a trip to the past, a vintage venue whose name is also a tribute to the cinema, specifically the giant rabbit that accompanied James Stewart in his imagination in the film The Invisible Harvey.

 

In its four years of life, in Harvey's Cocktail you could taste the best American food, the most delicious and elegant cocktails and the best musical selection. Their cocktail menu is divided into three parts: "Harvey's Signatures", created by Harvey's bartender team; "New Orleans Classics," and "Old Time Favorite's", to recover  forgotten classics, as well as the possibility of asking for any other that is not on the menu, given the experience of all bartenders.
