Staten Island OutLOUD teams up with  dancer Lys Obsidian, musician Nani Ferreira-Mathews and SI MakerSpace, to present an exciting evening’s entertainment: Sam Spade’s Speakeasy. A waterfront destination like some of Sam Spade’s favorite haunts. If you look carefully, you may spot La Paloma harbored nearby. Featurung readings from “The Maltese Falcon” & conversation, music and more.
SI MakerSpace is at the corner of Thompson St & Front St – One block from Bay St & Thompson St. Free parking in the adjacent lot & surrounding streets.

Our speakeasy will close at 9pm, so you’ll have plenty of time to attend the party at Hop Shoppe later that evening!
