Prohibition party to aid museum

SANDPOINT — Prohibition ends at last.

Slink on into the speakeasy to celebrate the anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition and indulge in your right to imbibe as the 219 Lounge and Bonner County History Museum officials host a Repeal Day Prohibition Party. The party will be held Dec. 5, 5:30-9 p.m. at the 219 Lounge. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the museum.

Enjoy live music, a Prohibition-style exhibit and entertainment, purchase a plate of hot eats, and slide up to the bar for some cool drinks. Use the password “coffin varnish” to access the secret Prohibition-era cocktail menu. Admission is free.

Repeal Day was the day that Prohibition, otherwise known as the great experiment, ended and America was free to consume alcohol once again. Museum and 219 Lounge officials said they want to make this a day that people recognize and appreciate by hosting the best cocktail party of the year.

Inspiration for the fun comes from the cocktails that were lost to, great music that came out of, the iconic clothing worn during,and the mixed bar culture that resulted from Prohibition.

It’s a party you don’t want to miss.
