Drinks of the era
We have not seen this venue’s own list, so what follows is the period rather than the bar: French 75, Clover Club, and Aviation are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.

Prohibition in Maine
Maine did not wait for the federal government. Statewide prohibition took effect here in 1851, 69 years before the Eighteenth Amendment came into force nationally on 17 January 1920. By the time the Volstead Act was being enforced across the country, Maine already had an established illegal trade and the habits that went with it.
