And according to Historic Hotels of America, you can also find one of the oldest and most historic speakeasies in the country as well.

The Cave Inside the Omni Mount Washington Hotel Has Tons of History

For more than a century, a speakeasy known as The Cave located inside the Omni Mount Washington Resort has been welcoming guests and slinging drinks to happy patrons.

If you're doing the math, that means at one point in America's history, The Cave was flagrantly breaking the law.

The speakeasy had several quirks, from trapdoors to store whiskey to a removable brick in the wall that allowed a 'watch' during prohibition to avoid any consequences.

The Cave feels old on purpose, as a nod to its history and also some of the famed people that have walked through the doors.

Babe Ruth and Bob Hope Have Visited The Cave in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire

It isn't uncommon for famous people to search out restaurants or bars off the beaten path.

The Cave has attracted famous faces over the years including perhaps the most famous baseball player of all-time, Babe Ruth.

Ruth found comfort inside the speakeasy and was reportedly a frequent guest.

Legendary comedian Bob Hope was also a visitor. Hope reportedly performed a set at the Cave nearly a century ago.

The Cave is available to all visitors but in-house guests and club members are prioritized for seating.
