/ cellarkeeper / Leave a comment

Friday, December 5, 2014 marks the 81st anniversary of the 21st Amendment. While there’s likely no Google Doodle to celebrate this milestone in American history, we encourage you to celebrate your constitutional right to purchase and consume intoxicating liquors.

Educate yourself on Detroit’s underground history during prohibition, or stop by Out on the Town exhibit at the Detroit Historical Society.

Here are just a few places to imbibe in Detroit:
The Sugar House
2130 Michigan Avenue, Detroit, MI 48216
Havana inspired cocktails and attire
5pm

Public House
241 West Nine Mile Road, Ferndale, MI 48220
Vintage movies, secret menus, classic craft cocktails and all that jazz! Era clothing encouraged.
6pm

Cafe d’Mongo’s Speakeasy
1439 Griswold Street, Detroit, MI 48226
9pm

Whiskey Business

Tickets are still available for Whiskey Business this Friday, November 7 at the Royal Oak Farmer’s Market. For $50, you get a cup and 10 tasting tabs to sample over 100 whiskey brands from around the world. If 10 samples isn’t enough for you lushes, consider the VIP option at $70 which gets you 15 tasting tabs with the bonus perk of getting in an hour early for a meet and greet with your favorite whiskey peddlers.

The whiskey list includes distilleries from around the world, but also includes some local-ish craft spirits from Two James, New Holland and Grand Traverse. We’re crossing our fingers that Two James will bring their new Johnny Smoking Gun!

Additional servings can be purchased when you run out of tabs; food will also be available for purchase.

Last year’s event sold out so get your tickets before they run out and see whiskeybusinessmi.com for more info.
