Here’s an event that’ll surely make the top of Tucson’s Most Wanted List.

Gather up the whole mob and head to Hotel Congress for a 1930s Dillinger speakeasy from 7 – 10 p.m. on Friday, January 19.

The experience takes you back to when gangster John Dillinger was at large with whiskey tastings, appetizers, premium cigars, a gun show, live music, and entertainment related to that era.

This is a 21 and over event, and general admission tickets are $35 per person.

There’s also a History Buff Admission for $75 per person, and it includes a commemorative Tucson Fire Department History Book.
