For a traditional speakeasy that (sort of) stands today, Chumley's, located at 86 Bedford Street, is a literary hotspot where writers and artists of the Jazz Age like William Faulkner, Eugene O'Neill and poet and playwright Edna St. Vincent Millay sipped bathtub gin and bootleg whiskey. The walls are lined with book jackets, most written and autographed by literary regulars, and as the bar moved into the Beat Generation and beyond, photographs of famous writers like Ginsberg, John Steinbeck and J.D. Salinger were added.
