THE SPEAKEASY KING

TONY'S SPEAKEASY NYC Est. 1920

Errol Tony Soma is the creator of THE SPEAKEASY KING, a biographical project that chronicles the life and legacy of his grandfather, Tony Soma, a prominent figure in New York City's Prohibition-era nightlife. Tony Soma was the owner of Tony's, widely regarded as the most popular speakeasy in New York during the Roaring Twenties. Known for its glamorous clientele—including artists, politicians, and Hollywood stars—Tony's played a pivotal role in shaping the cultural scene of the Jazz Age. Through THE SPEAKEASY KING, Errol Tony Soma seeks to bring this rich family history to life, shedding light on the hidden world of speakeasies and the enduring influence of his grandfather.

“Exhibitionists all, when they found themselves locked safely within the gates of the speakeasy, safe from the general public stare...”   -Tony Soma
