Rex Banner would have had his hands full at Bolsa last night, as they celebrated the repeal of dryness with a Prohibition Era-themed party.

Bartenders Eddie "Lucky" Campbell and Jason Cosmas, formerly of Neighborhood Services, whipped up cocktails like the "Manhattan Club" (rye, bitters, Orange Curacao and sweet vermouth) and the "Last Ward" (gin, Maraschino, lime and green chartreuse).

Our photographer Kevin Todora brought his picture-taking-device, of course, and was able to grab shots of the signature cocktails of the night. Make the jump and check it out--unless you have to catch a talkie.
