About this Event

Webster Hall announces today it will host the 2nd annual East Ville des Folies, Prohibition themed Beer and Whiskey tasting festival on Saturday, January 18th. TICKETS ON SALE NOW! Featuring four floors and over 40,000 square feet of beers and whiskeys from around the world, the event will take place again at Webster Hall from 2:30PM – 5:30PM with a VIP-Only Preview Hour from 1:30PM-2:30PM.

At the pinnacle of Nightlife’s First Golden Age, Webster Hall was a regular hot spot for quiet knocks and hushed whispers, turn-the-other-cheek coppers and strong booze. Reputedly owned by infamous mobster Al Capone, the venue conveniently ignored the prohibition mantra, and quickly earned its moniker as the “Jewel of the Village” among its adventurous clientele. Fast forward to now, 127 years since its inception, Webster Hall is bringing it all back.

Over 1,500 guests will have the opportunity to sample 4 floors of rare Whiskeys and Beers from around the world while immersed in the culture of the original burlesque hall as it was at the turn of the century. Done with the Webster Hall flair, the event will feature Trapeze and Circus acts, scantily clad Burlesque dancers, and Swing Jazz Bands.

The speakeasy bar downstairs will be transformed into an exclusive lounge for Breckinridge whiskey. The Balcony Lounge will be transformed into the Tanqueray Bathtub Gin room.

Net ticket proceeds from the event will go to East Ville Des Folies’ charitable partner Third Street Music School Settlement, a nonprofit organization providing group instruction in music and dance to 3,000 students from low- to moderate-income neighborhoods. More than 75 percent of all youth served benefit from need-based financial aid, merit-based scholarships and subsidized instructional offerings.
