Speakeasies were illegal drinking dens, saloons or nightclubs that sold illicit alcoholic beverages during the Prohibition Era (1920 - 1933). Speakeasies (speak-easies) was a nickname for these bars because patrons had to whisper code words to enter the establishments. As well the dealers of alcohol were called "Raccoons" in Spanish "Mapaches". Based on this idea Mapache the liquor store is born.
