Exclusive Prohibition Club comes with not only special perks but a special passcode, just like you would have had during the real Prohibition.
In the 100 years since Prohibition, we’ve come a long way, baby. Now, the Logan Mansion at 725 Austen Place allows you to take a step back in time, to the wild and wooly days of the 1920s, to the days of flappers and bathtub gin.
On Thursday, March 18 from 5-7 p.m., guests are invited to take a tour of the Logan Mansion and learn about their new Prohibition Club, a private membership limited to just 50 people. Registraton for the tour is now closed, but those lucky enough to go will enjoy Prohibition libations and appetizers as a prospective member of this exclusive club.
Prohibition Club membership is open by emailing: proprietor@loganmansion.com.
The tour will be promoting a very exclusive Prohibition Club that comes with not only special perks but a special passcode, just like you would have had during the real Prohibition. Club members will be able to invite up to three guests to enjoy a light lunch during the day and appetizers in the evening, unlimited refreshments and libations, board and card games, cool jazz playing in the background and access to booking the library for “secret” business meetings. Prohibition Club hours will be Monday through Friday from 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Weekend hours will be by special request. When the mansion says “light lunch.” don’t think of just finger sandwiches.
