Fun night. Great leader that showed us many techniques that we needed. Great platters and full bar available. They are moving to the art centre next week which will be better for business. Highly recommend. I am really impressed with my painting.

The Poplar Social Club

Here, at The Poplar Social Club we are completely dedicated to and somewhat obsessed with the craft of the cocktail in an environment with more than a tip of the hat to days gone by when ladies were dames and men were gents. This is a speakeasy, an establishment borne from the time when Prohibition was in force and selling alcoholic beverages was fraught with danger. Speakeasies were unlicensed saloons, so called because of the practice of "speaking easy" about such a place in public, or when inside, so as not to alert passing constabulary or neighbours. Speakeasies sported elaborate warning systems, yet despite these precautions, were frequently raided by Bureau of Prohibition agents and police and therefore required concealed passageways to provide escape. These hidden escapes were designed to lead patrons out to street level up to a block away to evade arrest. Many were so profitable they flourished despite being illegal and secretive. Selective memberships were sold to a "Social Club" as a ruse to purchase alcohol within the establishment.

We visited this bar after having an average meal at Dux Central next door. This place more than made up for the average service and food we’d received at Dux. Max, the barman, made it such a good experience. He was friendly, charming and very knowledgeable about cocktails. Made us all a drink to suit which were all delicious. Will definitely go back here when we’re next in Christchurch.
