Maybe I'm missing something, but what does a speakeasy have to do with Rhinefeld? Speakeasies are historically an American concept and today are almost exclusively associated with the American prohibition era. Germany, with its prevalent beer culture and history, never had prohibition and speakeasies were never a thing in Germany. In fact, a Google search for German speakeasies returns literally nothing related to an actual speakeasy in Germany, past or present.
It's a cool concept in itself, but how does it make any sense in Rhinefeld? Are we getting a saloon in San Marco next?
German "speakeasy's" were more like "hidden bars".I actually did some googling on this and it seems like there was a surprisingly robust prohibition movement in parts of Germany in the early 20th century. From what I can tell few laws were enacted as a result, but the sentiment was there.
In general though, a blanket ban on alcohol sales is not a requirement to have a speakeasy-esque secret bar. I'm sure all manner of secret societies, social clubs, and the like have operated underground bars in secret all over the world for ages whether the reason to stay hidden was for the alcohol or the meetings themselves.
Also, from what I've read, speakeasies—even known by that term—were a thing in Europe and Australia before prohibition ever hit the US. Even using that word to describe it may not be historically off-base.
I do agree with your broad concern about branding though. I could see where things could go sideways really quickly in the wrong hands.
I think this should be a member exclusive thing.
I wanted to suggest that but it seems suggesting paying more is very unpopular. Hell, I would pay more to belong and more to have an exclusive sit down full service restaurant within the park. Having something on the menu that can rival (to me) the best (to me) restaurant within a park of Mythos. Like how cool would a secret door member only bar on the ground floor with a staircase to an upstairs even more secret restaurant be?Judging by what @BGWnut said, maybe it is? Hell, I'd even be onboard with like a new, higher tier Stein Club where you pay yearly dues to access the place at all.
