Nothing says Thursday night like enjoying some fine spirits with friends in preparation for T.G.I.F. This Thursday, December 5, represents a very special This Day in History, since the date 80 years ago marks the official end of Prohibition in 1933. Grab your bowler-hat wearing pals and catch some holiday-planning reprieve at a few Seattle spots channeling the speakeasy vibe this year.

BAR COTTO’S PROHIBITION REPEAL PARTY

Chef Ethan Stowell’s Parma-style salumi bar and pizzeria is prepped to celebrate in style with prohibition-era cocktails ($9/each) and a bowl of adult punch ($8/glass). The party’s on from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. with happy hour deals on daily salumi selections and wood-fired pizza (served until 1 a.m.) The crew’s encouraging party-goers to don their fedoras, bowlers, and short ‘staches for all-night imbibing festivities.

GOLDEN BEETLE’S PROHIBITION POP-UP

Guests looking to settle in to an evening set in 1933 will want to make a reservation for the four-course menu at Golden Beetle’s Prohibition Pop-Up.
