About the event
Famous Last Drinks Series! History’s last call — the stories (and sips) behind the final drinks of the famous, the infamous, and the doomed. This month, we are highlighting George Orwell and his love for French 75s.
Join us for a presentation on George Orwell and our own take on a French 75, inspired by the champagne toast he shared shortly before his death. Best known for 1984 and Animal Farm, Orwell lived a life shaped by war, illness, love, and a relentless commitment to truth. There’s far more to Orwell than dystopias and Big Brother. Join us for a night that’s part storytelling, part learning, and all fun! Free to attend, but spots fill up quickly, so be sure to sign up.
