We\u2019ve pointed out National Repeal Day before as one of our favorite bars toward the north is having an unabashed celebration of the time we stopped prohibition.<\/p>\n

Now our favorite steakhouse is taking on the honors of bringin\u2019 booze to the forefront of people\u2019s attention spans as Chianina decides to take The Exhibition Room\u2019s cue and turn itself into a speakeasy\u2014password and all.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re pulling out all the stops for guests to see what it was like to enjoy a cocktail or glass of wine before Repeal Day, without the threat of being arrested of course,\u201d said owner Michael Dene. \u201cThis promises to be one of the most fun events of the year and a chance for women to let their inner flappers out while men do their best Al Capone impression.\u201d<\/p>\n

As with any genuine speakeasy, Chianina\u2019s front door will be locked with diners required to offer a password they\u2019ll receive by making a reservation.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce they enter, guests will be transported back to the 1920s with a live jazz band playing music all night and dinner and drink specials available in addition to the regular menu,\u201d said Chianina spokesperson Nick Valente. \u201cCaviar and champagne servers will also be working the room all night as a throwback to the opulence of the 1920s.\u201d<\/p>\n

All that jazz, baby.<\/p>\n

Chianina is located at 5716 E 2nd St. For reservations, please call 562-434-2333.<\/em><\/p>\n
