Where Spirits Sip
In Bisbee’s historic Oliver House, 26 Souls Speakeasy isn’t just a bar; it’s a time capsule offering handcrafted cocktails, fine wines, beers, charcuterie, and mocktails in an old-world atmosphere where stories linger. 26 Souls delivers a unique, haunted-tinged escape from modern tech into Bisbee’s rich past.

Forget your phone, forget the noise—step into 26 Souls, nestled within the ghostly grandeur of Bisbee’s Oliver House, and find yourself transported to a bygone era where connection was real, not digital. This isn’t your average watering hole; it’s a curated speakeasy experience where every sip tells a story, much like the old boarding house it calls home.

Imagine dark wood, flickering candlelight (or close to it!), and the scent of aged timber, creating an intimate, almost clandestine feel. It’s a place for quiet conversations, shared laughter, and a genuine escape, complete with a smoker’s patio for those who enjoy their spirits with a little fresh Arizona air.

Expect an enchanting menu of hand-picked wines, draft beers, and house-made cocktails that feel both classic and creative, alongside delicious charcuterie boards. They haven’t forgotten the non-drinkers, offering delightful mocktails for a truly inclusive experience.

Being inside the Oliver House, a building steeped in Bisbee’s mining past, adds a layer of spectral charm. You might just feel a presence as you enjoy your drink, making it a favorite for history buffs and ghost tour enthusiasts.

26 Souls offers a soulful pause in your busy world, a chance to breathe deep, listen intently, and savor quality drinks and food in a truly unique setting. It’s Bisbee’s best-kept (or perhaps, spirited) secret for an authentic taste of Old Bisbee.
