Step through the shadows and into the past. Once a month, the lights dim, the whispers rise, and Beer Bazaar slips back into the decadent, secretive world of the 1920s.

This Sunday, the doors won’t open for just anyone… access is granted only to those who know the secret password:

“We live in a twilight world and there are no friends at dusk.”

Say it clean. Say it with confidence. Say it like you belong.

It’s a chance to lead songs or to join in with others. They keep moving around the circle until it’s time to call it a night.
