MSC World America Speakeasy Bar Menu
Hidden behind a red British-style telephone booth aboard MSC World America is one of the ship’s more unusual drinking experiences: the Speakeasy Bar.
Rather than looking like a conventional cruise ship lounge, the venue embraces a secretive Prohibition-era theme, complete with a concealed entrance, industrial-style menus, cocktails with names such as The Commander, G.I. Joe and The Last Word, and a separate collection of Prohibition Shots.
This guide covers the MSC World America Speakeasy Bar menu shown onboard, including cocktail ingredients and prices. Prices and offerings can change, so always check the current onboard menu during your sailing.
MSC World America Speakeasy Bar
The Speakeasy Bar is designed around the idea of discovering a hidden bar rather than simply walking into another lounge. The red telephone booth provides the first clue that there is something unusual behind the door.
Inside, the military and Prohibition-inspired theme continues into the cocktail menu. Drinks have names such as Wingman, Parachute, Bravo Zulu and Give It The Deep Six, while the distressed menu design reinforces the atmosphere.
The cocktail selection also goes well beyond standard cruise ship mixed drinks. Ingredients appearing throughout the menu include bourbon, rye, mezcal, cognac, gin, rum, tequila, Chartreuse, Maraschino liqueur, bergamot bitters, pink peppercorn and several house-made or infused ingredients.
