Welcome to the Trap door

The Trap Door is a modern-day, speakeasy style bar located in Clare, Michigan. Our mission is to provide a unique selection of hand-crafted cocktails, rare whiskeys, craft beer, and elegant wines that will compliment our imitation of an underground establishment during the Prohibition era. We operate on a first come first serve basis, and strive to offer a one of a kind experience that will allow our guests the opportunity to relax, socialize, and celebrate a ravishing future.
