juice joint
Prohibition-era tavern
A juice joint is slang for an establishment that sells alcoholic beverages, particularly one that operated illegally during Prohibition.
The term combines juice (slang for liquor) with joint (slang for any establishment or place).
While it evokes speakeasy-era America, the phrase still appears in nostalgic or period contexts: We found a little juice joint downtown with live jazz.
