About

The Mob Museum is a nonprofit housed in the 1933 federal courthouse and post office on Stewart Avenue, a short walk from Fremont Street. The museum says mob hearings were held in the building. Exhibits cover organized crime and the law enforcement effort against it, including the St. Valentine's Day Massacre wall.

The Underground is a Prohibition-themed speakeasy and working distillery in the basement. The museum says the speakeasy is included in general admission. It serves craft cocktails and shareable food, hosts live music and displays 1920s artifacts. The distillery makes the museum's own moonshine and a limited-edition 300 Stewart Reserve bourbon.

There is no separate combination ticket. The Distillery Tasting is one of three interactive experiences you choose from with a Deluxe Pass (one) or a Premier Pass (two). The other two are the Crime Lab and a Firearm Training Simulator.

What to expect

You pick a date online and can arrive any time the museum is open, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Deluxe and Premier holders should arrive at least 30 minutes before their first experience and book time slots at the box office. Slots are first come, first served. The museum says a visit takes one to three hours, and you can skip exhibits.

The 25-minute Distillery Tasting covers Prohibition-era drinking culture and includes samples of the museum's moonshines for guests 21 and over. Afterward you can stay in the speakeasy for a cocktail, open until 11 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and midnight on Friday and Saturday. Evening visitors can also enter the speakeasy by a side door using a weekly password.
