Best Speakeasies in North America

The best speakeasies in North America come with house rules, from Mexico City to Toronto. Handshake Speakeasy in Mexico City, No. 1 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2024, books through OpenTable. In New York, Sip & Guzzle is No. 14 on The 50 Best Bars 2026, while Attaboy, No. 4 on The World's 50 Best Bars 2014, tells guests to just knock and caps parties at six. Toronto's Civil Liberties, No. 10 on North America's 50 Best Bars 2022, has poured without a menu since 2014. Attaboy lists a few tables on OpenTable and seats the rest first come, first served, so bring a physical ID. These are the bars we would start with.
