Stark’s Speakeasy
Step back in time to the Roaring ‘20s!
As we gear up to celebrate 75 years of cave tours, we are restoring Stark Caverns back to its roots– an exclusive speakeasy where real moonshiners used secret passages to dodge revenuers and craft pure moonshine under the cover of darkness. You can even see the dam they built deep in the cave as you party where they once worked in secret.

The 1920s were an exciting time in American history, and now you can experience the vibes and hustle inside a real speakeasy April 26 from 6:30-9 PM. Enjoy a locally sourced homestyle meal from Chef Hunter Westbrook featuring tasty pork loin, crispy fried chicken, garden salad, creamy mashed potatoes, country style green beans, and fresh apple cobbler for dessert.

Embark on a self-guided tour through the cave with four stops for wine tastings including Shawnee Bluff, Mathany Family Vineyards, Summit Lake Winery, and Gruet Winery. Learn what life was like at the Lake of the Ozarks during the Roaring ‘20s, how the moonshiners used the cave to run a successful secret business, and even how Eldon played a special role in bootlegging culture.

Let the live music transport you back in time as you enjoy a night full of food, wine, and great company. Dress to impress in your best 1920s attire as the top three costumes will go home with unique prizes- time to dust off those flapper fans and fedoras.
