Gilbert's First and Original Speakeasy

The White Rabbit Story

Legend has it, Dr O’Hare began his practice in Gilbert in 1910.  When prohibition became law in 1920, he saw opportunity. As a doctor, he began to prescribe “alcoholic concoctions” to his “patients” and opened his Apothecary (pharmacy) in 1920.  

As a savvy businessman, he decided to expand his operation and opened the first speakeasy bar as part of his apothecary.  In order to gain access, patrons were given a secret password and told how to access the speakeasy through a hidden door.

Today, The White Rabbit lives on in Downtown Gilbert.  Password and knowing the secret entrance are still required.  Cheers!
