Here's How!
Welcome to the Stookey's Club Moderne May Newsletter!

For May, we are featuring a seasonal favorite, the Strawberry Gin Fizz! With muddled strawberries, lemon juice and old tom gin, this refreshing cocktail is served in a tall glass and is just the medicine to perfect a Spring afternoon.
Negroni week is coming up very soon! We are very pleased to be participating again in this annual fundraiser which will be June 4 to 10th. Organized by Imbibe Magazine and the Campari company, we will be joining the 7,700+ venues around the world celebrating Negroni week, fundraising for charities and celebrating the delicious gin, vermouth and campari concoction that we know as the Negroni!

We are featuring this year our own Barrel-aged Negroni, featuring Big Gin's London dry gin, Campari and Dolin sweet vermouth, aged in a 5 gallon oak barrel for ~10 days. We will be donating $4 for every Barrel- aged Negroni sold the week of June 4-10. We have chosen the SF-Marin Food Bank as our chosen charity. Come on by and enjoy our Big Gin Barrel-Aged Negroni (below) and drop a couple bucks in the donation jar!
Meanwhile, we are proud to be able to continue to bring the sounds of the mid-century to Stookey's during Jazz Thursdays at Stookey's !

In our "What's on Tap" section of this newsletter, we list upcoming music and events this month and beyond!

We will close "Here's How" with our Cocktail of Month ! Thanks for your continued patronage -- we look forward to seeing you at Stookey's very soon!

Doug Woods Spins 78s - Sundays

Our good friend, Doug Woods, brings his 78 records and spins them on our in-house Victrola every Sunday!

Sundays, 7:00pm - until he decides its time to go (usually around 11ish)

It's a great chance to hear the music as it was played in the 1930s and 40's and catch him in the act of changing needles and winding the player. Don't forget to add a contribution to his tip jar !
San Francisco Bitcoin Meetup and Happy Hour at the Club Moderne

We are still the only bar in San Francisco that accepts bitcoin as payment for drinks. We are pleased to be again hosting the Bitcoin Meetup Group for a special monthly Happy Hour!

BTW -- All drinks paid for with bitcoin will receive happy hour pricing during the event! That works out to $2 off cocktails and spirits and $1 off beer and wine....
