Green Mill el ultimo refugio de Al Capone
Nunca fue su dueño, pero actuaba como tal. En esta taberna, que ha existido, sin pausas, desde hace más de 100 años en Chicago, Al Capone solía pasar sus noches. Aquí construyó túneles por donde perpetuaba el contrabando de bebidas alcohólicas. Hoy, sigue siendo uno de los más reconocidos clubes de jazz de Estados Unidos, hasta donde han llegado desde Bill Gates a Michelle Obama.

[한국어 정보]
깨끗하고 세련된 대도시 시카고. 하지만 1930년대 이 곳의 별명은 ‘미국 범죄의 수도’였다. 시카고를 주 무대로 활동했던 알 카포네와 마피아 때문이다. 알 카포네의 흔적을 엿볼 수 있다는 유서 깊은 재즈 클럽 앞에는 멋쟁이 아저씨가 지키고 서 있다. “그린 밀은 102년 된 바에요. 1907년에 시작했죠. 알 카포네가 1920년대에 그린밀에 자주 왔어요. 그의 부하 ‘머신 건’ 잭 머건이 그린밀을 운영할 때 말이죠. 알 카포네가 그를 보러 자주 오곤 했죠. 이제 여기는 유명한 재즈 바입니다. 전 세계 사람들이 유명한 그린밀을 방문합니다.“ 이탈리아 이민자의 후손 알 카포네. 그가 이끌던 폭력조직 “시카고 아웃핏”은 시카고는 물론, 미국 서부지역까지 장악했다. 그는 2, 30년대 ‘밤의 대통령’으로 불렸다. 사장님이 갑자기 바닥을 연다. 대공황기, 금주령이 내려졌을 때 카포네 일당이 몰래 만든 술을 유통시켰던 지하 통로다. 퀴퀴한 냄새가 코를 찌른다. “여기는 예전에 여자탈의실과 화장실이었어요. 그린 밀이 건물을 통째로 다 쓰고 한창 번성했을 때요. 여기 바닥 자국은 변기가 있었던 흔적이죠.“ “저 밑에 파티를 할 수 있는 방이 있었어요. 그 방을 나와서 터널을 지나가면 거리로 나갈 수 있었어요. 마치 이 곳에 애초에 있지도 않았던 것처럼요. 밖으로 나가는 통로가 있었죠. 대단하죠.“ 알 카포네는 이 곳에서 밀주를 만들어 팔고 시카고 유흥가의 각종 이권을 챙겨 ‘세계에서 가장 돈을 많이 버는 민간인‘으로 기네스북에까지 올랐다. 탈세 혐의로 감옥에 가면서 그의 시대도 막을 내렸다. 알 카포네는 ’나는 사람들이 원하는 것을 줬을 뿐‘이라는 말을 남겼다. 이제 사람들이 여기서 원하는 건 음악이다. 현재 사장인 데이빗이 30년 전 이 클럽을 인수한 뒤로 그린밀은 손님들이 부담 없는 가격에 음악과 춤을 즐길 수 있는 공간으로 거듭났다. 시카고 출신 스윙의 황제, 베니 굿맨이 태어난 지 올해로 100년. 우리에게도 익숙한 그의 명곡이 오늘 밤 연주된다. 알 카포네로 상징되는 범죄의 수도는 지하에 잠들었고 사람들은 그 위에서 춤추며 오늘을 즐긴다.

Chicago Speakeasy Bar | The Drifter | Burlesque Sideshows & Tarot Cards
On this episode of On Foodable Side Dish we meet Liz Pearce, the managing partner at The Drifter, an authentic speakeasy from Chicago’s Prohibition era. The bar is hidden behind a door that poses as a decorated, wooden shelf on a wall inside a restaurant called The Green Door Tavern. Even the restaurant’s name alludes to the fact that there was a functioning bar inside of the establishment during the 1920s and 1930s. Back then, painting a restaurant's door green indicated the presence of an illicit liquor store or nightclub.
