Golden Gate renames its original casino bar Bar Prohibition for Repeal Day. Toast to the bar’s new name and decades of serving alcohol (legally, of course!) with an all-night party and classic drinks from the Prohibition cocktail menu. Inspired by Golden Gate’s storied past, the menu is highlighted by creative takes on historic recipes with unique libations such as the “Flaming Side Car,” “The Prohibition,” and “Italian Kiss.” Each cocktail on the specialty menu is served in a discreet coffee mug – a method employed by Prohibition drinkers to elude lawmakers.
