Winter 1920 brought a Wednesday-night speakeasy to the cellar at Vincent William. The room’s stone walls, painted murals and long table provided the setting for a featured chef menu and cocktails drawn from Prohibition-era recipes.

The cellar evenings

The series took its name from the start of Prohibition in January 1920 and Lake Erie’s history as a route for smuggled spirits. Candlelight and the period cocktail list shaped the evenings downstairs.

For a gathering of your own, the Cellar seats 25. Our events team can help with a menu and wine pairings. For lunch or dinner in the restaurant, reserve a table.
