Mob Museum’s ‘Last Call’ party a nod to Prohibition anniversary

‘Last Call’ party fetes Prohibition at 100

At one minute after midnight Friday, it will have been exactly 100 years since Prohibition went into effect, banning alcohol in the United States. To commemorate that dry period in American history, and the speakeasy culture it inspired, The Mob Museum will host a “Last Call” party on Thursday night. The party in The Underground, located in the museum’s basement, will include a jazz band, drink specials and a moonshine toast at midnight. It’s free to get in — if you use the password “swanky” at the side entrance on the east side of the building. And in the true spirit of Prohibition, The Underground will offer mocktail specials all month long. 300 Stewart Ave., themobmuseum.org
