There is no period of time in Albany’s history richer in lore than Prohibition! Stop by the U. Club after work to wet your whistle, and relive the era of Bootleggers, Rumrunners and Moonshiners!
Brian Facquet, co-founder of Prohibition Distillery, will be on hand as we mix up special cocktails with Bootlegger 21
Vodka. This award-winning boutique vodka is made with 100% corn and distilled
in small batches in Gardiner, NY.

Stay until 7:30 to watch the broadcast
premiere of a 30-minute documentary on WHMT-TV titled “William Kennedy’s Prohibition Story” featuring gritty tales of New York’s Capital City from
1919-1933 from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author. The local film coincides with
