Party Like It's 1933

Today marks the anniversary of a very important event: Way back in 1933, the U.S. government came to its senses and ratified the 21st Amendment, lifting the national ban on alcohol. To celebrate the repeal of Prohibition, Prosperity Social Club will celebrate with a Prohibition Repeal Party, a speakeasy-style bash that includes era-appropriate costumes, cuisine, live music and, of course, cocktails. “We’ll be serving some great retro cocktails, but we’ll make sure they’ll please the discerning modern-day palate,” explains Prosperity Social Club owner Bonnie Flinner in a press release. “No making do with harsh hooch, white lightning or medicinal-tasting bathtub gin, that’s for sure!” A French 75 (made with Cognac instead of the traditional gin) is just one of many planned drink specials. Happy hour runs from 4 to 6 p.m., and you can hear live music from 9 to 11 p.m. (Niesel)
