America Walks Into a Bar: A Spirited History of Taverns, Saloons, Speakeasies and Grog Shops

Discover the historical significance of America’s watering holes from Christine Sismondo, author of America Walks Into a Bar. She’ll regale you with anecdotes of women’s rights, gay history, Prohibition and even gangland—some set in New York nightspots like McSorley’s, the Oak Room at the Plaza Hotel and the Stonewall Inn. The cult of the celebrity bartender will also be explored, as well as modern speakeasies like Angel’s Share and Milk and Honey.
