For thirteen long years, from 1919 to 1933, the United States prohibited all alcohol sales, manufacture, transport and import of alcohol. It was a long and strange time known as Prohibition, and it ended on December 17, 1933. Join us for our second Repeal Day Tour with our friends at Union Pub and Barrel on Thursday, December 17, 2024, as we raise a glass to 91 years of being able to drink alcohol legally again!
Your ticket gets you a welcome cocktail at Union Pub as well as a farewell libation at Barrel.
This tour is 21+, so please keep the kids at home.
