Secrecy and
subterfuge were synonymous with the speakeasies or illegal bars which sprang up
in 1920’s America during the prohibition years.
Their hidden locations, often in basements or secret rooms, gave them an
air of excitement tinged with danger. Cabaret
and burlesque performer Lilly Loca and a well- known
Auckland chef who asks to be referred to be only as Wylie D are aiming to
recreate some of that feeling on K’ Road with the establishment of club Whisper150 this month.
In the
spirit of speakeasies, we can’t disclose where Whisper 150 will be located, except
to say its name holds a clue and that patrons are being promised ‘a high class
good time replete with gourmet food, classic cocktails and drinks along with
fabulous entertainment’ on a fortnightly basis.
“We want to
bring back the exuberant lavish and ritzy times of the 1920’s to the heart of
the Auckland’s CBD”, says Lilly.
The rules
relating to Whisper 150 including dress code, location, ticket and etiquette details
for the evening, can only be obtained when patrons officially join the club by
liking it on Facebook. (Shssh, pass it
on!)
