So, you have a few questions, eh?

"Hey, kid, I get it. It's hard to wrap your thick noggin' around, ain't it? A secret speakeasy you never been to? A password to get in? Dapper duds? And what exactly is Hot Jazz?? I hear what your screamin', brother. I do. And I'm about to help you out..."

All of your BEAUTIFUL and DAMNED questions Answered:

There are a number of car services in the area and we'll have their information easily available to you the night of the party.

What IS the password to get in?
"Dottie sent me."

Is it absolutely REQUIRED to dress up in 20's garb?
We strongly encourage you to get into the spirit of the evening! We always have more fun when we look fly. We'll also be posting some easy, and inexpensive ideas and where to go in the city for both men and women in the next day or so. But if this is something that is holding you back from coming out for a fun night, don't sweat it!

What is the music going to be like and can we dance to it?
You better be prepared to shake a tale feather because the Cangelosi Cards are known to blow it out. But don't take our word for it. Check out this glowing review from the Producer and Host of Down Home Radio, Eli Smith:

“The Cangelosi Cards are one of the best bands I’ve seen anywhere. They have a great live show, perfect for dancing! I envy any one who has not yet seen them because you now have the chance to see them for the first time! They keep it strictly real, playing traditional New Orleans style jazz, but continue to see it as a living tradition- and as such bring in influences from outside the cannon, such as country, blues, and early popular music. The level of musicianship is brilliant, bring your dancing shoes!”

Do I need to really get there by 9:00, won't the party go until 2?
The band starts at 9:30 and we have some amazing performances planned soon after that. We don't want you to miss a thing and encourage a timely arrival.

Will you be able to take credit cards?
Take a cue from the era and pretend credit cards don't exist. Just for the night. Or until you get into that taxi home. Bring cold hard cash-o-la, pretty please. Your bartenders will thank you.

Speaking of the Bar, what will be offered?
You will be greeted at the door with a bubbly house cocktail, care of Hush Hush Gang. After that you're free to take advantage of our illustrious cash bar with signature prohibition style cocktails, wine, beer and non-alcoholic beverages. All at bottom dollar prices so you won't go broke.

"So, I've given you quite the earful and you've got the inside skinny. Now you're on the trolley!"
