Nip Joints

Nip Joints: "Nip joints, also known as shot houses, are unlicensed establishments (usually private residences) where alcoholic beverages are sold by the drink for both on-and off-premise consumption. Beverages of all types are sold, including illegally produced moonshine."

Huh, sort of like Underground Restaurants for booze. A shame that they didn't continue with the words Speakeasy, Smokeasy and go with Shoteasy.
