Their Overview provides a great description:

Travel back in time to the Prohibition era, when thousands of speakeasies operating in hard-to-find places satisfied the nation’s thirst for forbidden spirits.  Informative and entertaining exhibits, videos and artifacts tell the stories of the Roaring Twenties, which saw the rise of flappers, jazz and the Mob.

The speakeasy exhibit is built around a well-stocked bar and a stage for evening entertainment, creating a lively environment inspired by that bygone age!

Name the Pot Contest:

What's also cool about the Underground is their  Artisan Copper Pot for distilling Moon Shine. 

It's such a big part of The Underground, The Mob Museum would like you to help name it.  Simply go to The Mob Museum on Instagram, follow their instructions and submit your choice for a name.
