Why Celebrate Bootlegger’s Day?

Bootlegger’s Day, officially recognized in 2015 by the National Day Calendar and Infinium Spirits, honors the daring individuals who kept spirits flowing during the Prohibition era. January 17 is a fitting date, marking the birthdays of both infamous bootlegger Al Capone and Templeton Rye Whiskey.

At Fielding’s, we’re toasting this spirited holiday with a menu of carefully curated cocktails inspired by the era. Stay tuned as our talented bar team reveals a lineup that promises to transport you to the Prohibition days with every sip.
