There’s something to be said for the American government declaring: “We were totally wrong, people. Now let’s get crunk.” The 13-year buzz-kill known as Prohibition was officially repealed Dec. 5, 1933, and to celebrate the occasion, bars across this wide alcoholic land are throwing sloshy shindigs. Bring yourself and your very frightened liver to the historic Townhouse, which has been causing hangovers both legally and illegally since 1915. You’ll be treated to special Repeal Day cocktails, free music, and bump-and-grind burlesque action.
52 Windward Ave., Venice; free; 10 a.m.-2 a.m.
