General Information

A famous Prohibition-era speakeasy, 21 Club is known for its painted cast iron lawn jockey statues adorning the balcony above the entrance and antique toys with sports memorabilia covering the walls and ceiling.

Interesting Facts

Although the club was raided by police numerous times during Prohibition, the owners were never caught. As soon as a raid began, a system of levers was used to tip the shelves of the bar, sweeping the liquor bottles through a chute and into the city’s sewers.

Every President since Franklin Delano Roosevelt except for George W. Bush has dined at 21, and the restaurant has been frequented by so many celebrities that many of them have favourite tables.
