Speakeasies may have disappeared long ago, but that doesn’t make them any less alluring. In fact, it’s not uncommon to come across bars modeled after the obscure watering holes of decades past. Lucky for us, we have such a bar here in the Magnolia State. Take a look:

This is Brent’s Drugs in Jackson. A popular eatery, it’s not normally thought of as a nighttime spot.

Brent’s is most known for its retro vibe and classic diner fare. However, that’s not all there is to the iconic Jackson locale.

Tucked away, in the back of Brent’s, you’ll find The Apothecary, a speakeasy-type lounge.

Just like the secret bars of the prohibition era, The Apothecary is somewhat hidden.

But its unassuming locale isn’t the only nod to the watering holes of the past. There’s also the dim lighting and cozy booths.
