The DC Craft Bartenders’ Guild is inviting Washington area residents to party like it’s 1933!

The group, made up of DC’s top mixologists, is hosting Washington’s only Repeal Day party. With proceeds benefiting the Club’s Preservation Fund and the Museum of the American Cocktail, this fundraising event honors the 75th anniversary of the date when the 18th Amendment – which established Prohibition in the United States – was repealed.

Thanks to the vital support of our sponsors, including Martin Millers Gin, Domaine de Canton Ginger Liqueur, Skyy Vodka, Old Forester Bourbon, The Bitter Truth Bitters, Macallan Single Malt Scotch, Mt. Gay Rum and Fiji Water, guests will be treated to true classic cocktails, recreated by the best in the business, including locals Owen Thompson (Bourbon), Gina Chersevani (EatBar) and Derek Brown (The Gibson).

Special guests will include Tony Abou-Ganim (Host of Fine Living Network’s “Raising the Bar”), Jeffrey Morgenthaler (RepealDay.org founder) and other top bartenders from throughout the United States.

Hors d'oeuvres will be provided throughout the night by
the City Tavern Club and a 1930s jazz band will set the mood and provide the tunes for dancing.

The City Tavern Club is located in one of the oldest buildings in DC, City Tavern, built in 1796. In addition to serving as President John Adams’ headquarters while he was supervising the construction of the national capital, the historic building has also played host to numerous presidents and dignitaries.
