Repeal Day at the Distillery

Repeal-Day-2019

Eight-Six years ago, Utah, the final state needed for a three quarters majority, ratified the 21st Amendment, repealing Prohibition and restoring the American right to a celebratory drink. While the amendment still allowed for state and local levels of Prohibition, by 1966 there were no state laws banning alcohol.

Join us December 5th from 4PM to 9PM as we celebrate your patriotic right to a celebratory drink. Prohibition era cocktails and appetizer specials all night long. We will be dressed to the nines and so should you!

We have a small funeral procession for the 18th amendment, champagne toast, and wake at 7PM. After 7PM selected cocktails will be 50% off until close.

Tell your friends!
