At Speakeasy on State, we celebrate the rich history and vibrant community of Redlands, CA.
Nestled in the heart of downtown, our venue is not just a space for events-it's a living piece of history. Let's take a journey back in time to discover the fascinating story of our unique venue.
One of the most intriguing chapters in the building's history is its rumored use during the Prohibition Era
The upstairs portion of 10 E. State St. was allegedly transformed into a speakeasy-a hidden spot where patrons could enjoy a drink despite the nationwide ban on alcohol. This clandestine activity is reflected in some unique architectural features that remain today, such as the red light indicating the need to hide alcohol and the peepholes in the pocket door leading into The Ballroom.
The second floor has now been meticulously restored, blending modern updates with its historical charm.
Today, Speakeasy on State stands as a testament to Redlands' rich history, offering a unique venue for events that combines elegance with a touch of nostalgia.
