Review:
The Wabasha Street Caves are sandstone caves on the south shore of the Mississippi River that have been transformed over the past hundred years into event space. In the 1920s, the caves were home to a speakeasy during the Prohibition Era, which was reputedly frequented by gangsters such as John Dillinger and Ma Barker.
A restaurant that opened in the caves was shut down at the beginning of the Second World War, and it remained closed until the 1970s when the space became a disco. Today the Wabasha Street Caves are a great place to have lunch. They have Swing Nights on Thursdays, featuring live big band music, and the caves are popular for private events. A small gift shop in the caves sells cards, crafts, trolls, and jewellery.
