​

Hanson's is located at 27 E. Pine Street in a building that was erected in 1883-1884 with a nineteenth century commercial style. Andrew Hanson acquired it in 1894 for his "Hanson Shoe Repair Shop" which had Orlando's first electric sign. It is generally thought that this building may be the oldest building still standing in downtown Orlando.

​

Hanson’s Shoe Repair is a uniquely awesome speakeasy that is unheard-of dedicated to the true definition of the word. (Minus the whole being illegal thing.) Just like during prohibition, you need a password to gain admittance.

 

Luckily, with the invention of modern technology, the password can be obtained through a phone call and subsequent text message, or private Facebook message.

 

A word of advice — only about 30 people can have their “shoes repaired” at once, and reservations are not accepted. So if you don’t want to spend your evening waiting outside of the super cool speakeasy, it’s probably best to keep “open sesame” a secret.
