Inside the Archives and Thinking About Drinking

3/4/2021

We’re looking forward to next week’s lecture on our local Prohibition-era history—and looking #InsideTheArchives too! We’ve found some fun photos and artifacts related to Los Alamos and liquor over the years.

A person on the left of the photo holds a drink while the bartender collects money off of the bar. Behind the bartender are three shelves of bottles of alcohol, with Moscow mule mugs hanging from the shelves.

People sit and lean against a wooden wall, holding drinks. A sign above a door on the left reads “Officers Lounge.”

Events and gatherings in Los Alamos have frequently included food and drink. Our Archives and Collections show some of these social settings and interesting glassware that has been used.
Getting together over drinks, whether in person or virtual, and whether alcoholic or non, is a great way to make memories. What have been your favorite Los Alamos watering-holes over the years? Share your memories in the comments on this post or share a photo of your favorite local spot!
