“Can’t repeat the past? Why, of course you can!” And one redditor’s upstairs bar—modeled after the speakeasies of the Roaring Twenties—is all the proof you need.

User marauder09 was longing for the days of Prohibition, so he decided to turn a spare room into a time-traveling tavern that looks classy enough for even the greatest of Gatsbys.

“My bar is my favorite place to relax, unwind, have a great drink, and enjoy some music,” he shares in his post.

It’s easy to see why.

A camera operator by trade, marauder09 used his intuitive eye for design—and very good taste in spirits—to revive the Jazz Age look.

He shares in a comment that he “sourced everything from Craigslist, antique stores, and consignment stores” with a few missing pieces ordered from Amazon. Each piece might’ve been friendly on marauder09’s budget, but the combined effect is pretty luxurious.

Warning: The following photos might make you jitterbug uncontrollably.

Marauder09 installed this chandelier himself:

In a comment, he confesses that the drinks aren’t all “authentic” 1920s beverages. “… nobody wants bathtub gin cocktails,” he explains. “Had to make some compromises with historical accuracy.” Fans of bourbon, rum, vodka, and pretty much any other alcohol you can think of won’t be disappointed by the absence of bathtub gin:

The music, however, is historically accurate.

He notes in his post that “Cab Calloway frequents the bar playlist … along with Billie Holiday, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, and others.”

The photos lining the walls are also faithful to the Jazz Age aesthetic—even though some of them were produced quite recently. Marauder09 explains in his post that he “had some tintype-style images printed on aluminum by an artist in Louisiana.”

Fun fact: Marauder09 points out that the starlet in the middle frame—Belle Bennett—is related to his wife.

But speakeasy guests might be distracted from the family connection by another period piece hanging up nearby: brass knuckles.

Marauder09 details how to use them in his post. “In case of police raid,” he writes, “break glass.”

No serious speakeasy would be complete without a professionally printed menu—so marauder09 prepared one with some of his favorite cocktails:

Which he’s ready to serve his guests, in his finest 1920s bartender digs:

Some redditors thought that if marauder09 went through all this trouble to make his bar look so professional, he might as well charge money for the drinks:

But one historical question remains: Would marauder09’s DIY speakeasy impress an actual flapper from the 1920s?

Perhaps we’ll never know.

But this jazz cat seems to approve:
