The Journal | Wednesday, June 4, 2025
The Journal reports that Shepherdstown has welcomed its first speakeasy since Prohibition with the opening of Burnt Secrets Cellar at Panagiota's Taste of Greece. The 1920s-themed lounge, which opens to the public this weekend, offers a unique atmosphere with seating for 35, a vintage phonograph, live jazz, and a touch of local ghost lore, as the building was formerly a morgue and crematorium. With an exclusive entry system that requires online reservations and a passcode, the speakeasy aims to provide a cozy gathering space for locals and visitors alike, making it a promising new destination in the heart of Shepherdstown.
