The Logan Mansion Prohibition (Private) Club opens March 29 on the lawn at the Logan Mansion with sounds of Robert Trudeau’s Second-Line Band.
But, before the main event, guests like Dr. Larry and Lori Allen, stopped by the Mansion for a tour, tasty treats, Bartender Patrick Nix’s Pink Lemonade Martinis, and information.
The new private membership club is limited to 50 members said founders Lisa Brutto and son Joseph Ripley Robertson.
“It will be a nice social space,” said Joseph. He is particularly proud of the U-shaped, custom-made bar created of old doors he found in the mansion. “They can’t be used as doors any more. I didn’t want to throw them away. They are gorgeous doors.”
Daphne Lott whose attire channeled 1920s fashions, was among others taking a peek. She was especially taken by the mansions’ furnishings. “The antiques are fabulous, including the stained glass window over the bar and the sculpture at the bottom of the stairs is on-of-a-kind,” said Lott.
Others: author Terry Harris, dressed as a 1930s “gumshoe,” Michael and Victoria Krutsinger, Drew Nauman, Joe Kane and Kelly Hughes, Shawn Elkins, Katy Larsen, Andrea Remedies.
Club price: $200 a month. So what does the club offer?
