Prohibition gripped New York in the 20s, but there was one place you could always get a drink if you knew those in the know. The 21 Club’s Mark Tubridy lets us in on the secret that got you into one of the oldest drinking establishments in the Big Apple.

Hello everyone - Don't get confused! Before there was Lush Life, there was Best Sips Worldwide, I rebranded after the first season. Although I reference Best Sips – it’s Lush Life through and through – the same great guests, the same music, and the same me!

Today we take you across the pond to New York’s 21 Club. Bartender Mark Tubridy guides us through a mini-history of cocktails in the Big Apple from one of the bars that started it all. He graciously sat down to talk me through prohibition to modern day. Avery Fletcher, the Director of Sales & Marketing of the 21 Club, joined the party as well.
Always remember the wise words of Oscar Wilde, “All things in moderation, including moderation,” and always drink responsibly!
