"A historic, upscale hotel barroom that served as the setting for a Prohibition-themed cocktail party challenge; the polished, period-tinged atmosphere saw hosts and guest judges convene in era-appropriate attire (one judge notably wore a flapper dress and Louise Brooks–style wig) while chefs presented one-bite canapés inspired by classic cocktails. The venue functioned as an elegant tasting room where judges sampled multiple rounds, critiqued pairings, and ultimately selected clear winners and losers for the challenge." - Greg Morabito
