In 1927, at the height of Prohibition, two things were pretty hard to find in New York a good stiff drink and a great steak. Except, of course, at a speakeasy that came to be known as Gallagher's.

This storied gathering place is where New York's famous and notorious assembled to indulge themselves in pleasures of the palate and forbidden spirits. A place where gamblers, sports figures, show people, novelists, playwrights and judges sat at tables across from gangsters, strippers, ballerinas and business titans.

In 1933 prohibition ended and speakeasies across the country began closing their doors. Gallagher's, however, became more popular than ever. A simple truth became clear: while anyone could now get a drink everywhere, a great steak was still hard to find.
