Club House to become Speakeasy for an evening, October 3
On October 3 the Club House of the National Press Club will become a 1920s-era Speakeasy, replete with Prohibition-era cocktails and entertainment.
In honor of NPC Luncheon Speaker Ken Burns' newest documentary, 'Prohibition,' members are invited to relive the days of Prohibition. In the Reliable Source, Prohibition-era cocktails will be served - some in coffee mugs to elude the authorities.The Maureen Mullaney quartet will perform a combination of Roaring 20s era music and contemporary jazz and blues standards in the Truman Lounge from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. An episode of the 'Prohibition' documentary will be screened in the McClendon Room, where members may order dinner or drinks if they wish; the film will begin at 7 p.m. Dinner and Happy Hour drinks will begin at 5:30 p.m.
There are even rumors that a members-only poker game may take place in the Game Room.
The cost for members and their guests to enter the Speakeasy is free - but they must "speak easy" so as not to raise the attention of lawmen!
