It's Repeal Day, Bitches!

Today marks the 75th anniversary of the end of Prohibition via the 21st Amendment, a.k.a. Repeal Day. It's hard to fathom that for thirteen sad, dark years (1920 to 1933), our fine country was dry (or at least, legally so). Considering earlier this week was also the 75th anniversary of the bloody mary, there's twice as much to celebrate this year.

Dewar's is all about the Repeal Day, so there's R-Day events with whiskey specials aplenty at such bars as Tini Bigs, Nectar, the Alibi Room, the Baltic Room, Vessel, the Sunset, Bal Mar, and the Rendezvous, some of which already started celebrating last night. We also know that Liberty plans on honoring today in some drink-related fashion. So does the Bottleneck Lounge, which will be hosting the Happiest Hour Ever, featuring their regular happy hour specials (like $3 Stella and Manny's), along with six classic cocktails (sidecars, the old-fashioned and French 75s) for $6 from 5-8 p.m.
