Carrie Nation Cocktail Club
About
Carrie Nation Cocktail Club takes its name, with a wink, from Carrie Nation, the hatchet-wielding campaigner who tried to rid America of liquor, and runs as a Prohibition-themed restaurant and bar on Beacon Street. Ragtime and jazz play through three dining rooms, each decorated differently, and past the bar a corridor leads to a red velvet curtain and the Speakeasy, a windowless lounge with leather seating, dark polished wood, billiards and its own full bar.
It suits a dinner-and-cocktails night on Beacon Hill, a group that wants a pool table and a corner of its own, and anyone planning a Sunday around a drag brunch. The club is at 11 Beacon Street, close to the Massachusetts State House, as it likes to point out.
The Speakeasy
The club calls its back room Boston’s Original Speakeasy, a title that is its own rather than a matter of record. Getting there is part of the show: you slip along the bar, down the corridor and through the curtain. The room has plush leather seats, billiards and a full bar, and it can be booked privately or semi-privately for events.
Food and drinks
The kitchen serves lunch and dinner menus built to go with a list of era-inspired cocktails, and the club notes gluten-free options. The dining room takes reservations on OpenTable; the bar and the Speakeasy are first come, first served, so a table there comes down to timing.
Drag brunch on Sundays
Drag Me To Brunch runs every Sunday, hosted by Destiny Boston and Dee Dee de Ray with guest performers. A buffet comes first, then an interactive show that runs for about two hours, and a photographer takes pictures with the queens afterward. It is ticketed and 21+, and groups are sometimes seated family style with other parties; times and prices are in the FAQ.
Private events
Three spaces can be booked: the Beacon Room, a private room; the Trimountaine Room, which is the main dining room; and the Speakeasy, private or semi-private. Requests go through the event form on the club’s website.
