For those who wish to attend and are not familiar with Charlotte’s Speakeasy: In keeping with the old-timey Speakeasy tradition, you will need to make a reservation, and you will need to grab the “password of the week” (which is available on the venue's website ) in order to get in. Doors open at 7pm, and it is suggested to come early, (and stay late of course.) The place is small and they only let 125 people in at a time.
