We were here as guests, not members. Living in Vancouver, Washington, it would not be worth the cost of being a member of a private club in Fullerton, California, when we are in town for limited number of days each year. Back in Prohibition Days, this was a Speakeasy. They do have an excellent collection of spirits, especiall the Scotch that Barbara and I like from Islay.

Our history with this building goes way back. The ground level floor of this building used to be the Williams Bros. Camping & Fishing store. They used to carry Boyscout & Girlscout supplies and it was where we purchased all the Girlscout uniforms and supplies for our daughters when they were little. Later the ground level floor was turned into 2 restaurants, including The Rail Restaurant where our Rail Travel Meetup Group would gather every month and for annual Christmas parties. Next door became an Indian restaurant for a while that we ate at a few times. Today the restaurants in this space are The Eliot and The Bowery. The main event space on the second floor used to be a dance studio where I took dance lessons to prepare for Sherica & Brian's wedding. Today it is mostly used for weddings, private events, and public music concerts. We once saw a Red Hot Chili Peppers Tribute Band perform here. The windows from The Preservation Room overlook this event space.

While listening to Stan's music, I noticed the TV was showing 2 men in a boxing ring engaged in a pillow fight! I can't believe this is now a legitimate men's sport! If you don't believe me, see FightPFC.com, PFC Pillow Fight Championship!
