The bar served as a speakeasy during the Prohibition Era and maintains the 1920s ambiance with an inconspicuous entrance and house rules that prohibit cell phone use and photography. To enter the venue, ring the buzzer and provide the password. No RSVP is required.

Professor Christine Hrenya is serving as chair of this year’s AIChE Annual Meeting. The 2016 conference will run Nov. 13-18 and features presentations on cutting-edge research, new technologies and growth areas in chemical engineering.
