Imagine a time when a handshake, knock, or a secret word was the key to gaining entrance to a world of bathtub gin, evening gloves, and rip-roaring jazz.

During the prohibition, a slew of underground bars were established to conceal the illicit behaviors of the young and thirsty. While the 1920s may have passed, the thrill of a hidden passageway hasn’t completely evaporated in Tucson.

The Still, hidden inside Vero Amore, will be hosting a four-course dinner on Wednesday, September 30. Each plate will feature a handcrafted Jim Beam cocktail, complementing the dish.

“Running this kitchen has been a labor of love, but the numbers just aren’t adding up anymore, and as parents, we have to make the hard choice to step back and take care of what matters most at home.”
