Speakeasy New Year's Eve Party at the Cellar!

The Cellar Restaurant is going to be shut down for one night for violation of the National Prohibition Act of 1920.  Mr. Dudley is not going to let fuzz ruin his annual New Years Eve Party.  All you fellas grab your gals and come celebrate the new year at an authentic Speakeasy.  The giggle water will be flowing and as long as the heat does not nail us we will have enough hooch on hand to get you smoked.  The party starts at 8:30 PM so please arrive promptly and you will need to know the password to weed out any Fed's.

The evening includes a 1920's inspired four-course menu, champagne toast at mid-night, music from the era, and a slew of fun surprises inspired by the roaring 20's.  Costumes are welcome so come as your favorite gangster or flapper!
