SpeakeasiesUSA.com
Website
The largest speakeasy directory on the internet. 6,375+ listings across 1,978 cities, all in one place.
What It Does
SpeakeasiesUSA.com is a comprehensive, wiki-style guide to speakeasy bars across the United States. Every listing includes ratings, review counts,
addresses, and a custom popularity score powered by a scoring algorithm (rating weighted by the log of review count). Users can browse by state, search
by city with autocomplete, or explore curated city pages with interactive carousels and filtering. The site spans 8,360+ total URLs and serves as the
definitive resource for hidden bar discovery.
How It Was Built
The entire site is statically generated using a Python and Pandas data pipeline that processes a master CSV of every speakeasy listing in the country.
Python scripts generate all city pages, state pages, and listing cards from templates. The frontend is built on Bootstrap 5 with a dark theme, using
Swiper.js for touch-friendly carousels, AOS for scroll animations, GLightbox for image previews, Isotope for dynamic filtering and sorting, and Typed.js
for animated text effects. Custom Web Components built in vanilla JavaScript handle reusable UI elements across the site. Built with Claude Code.
