Get ready for a fun night at the Club with Steve Revare and David Epstein, founders of Tom’s Town Distilling Company, as they lead us through a tasting of spirits paired with delicious appetizers! Tom’s Town was named after the country’s most corrupt political boss, Tom Pendergast, who started as a saloon keeper and the founder of a wholesale liquor company. Under Pendergast, Kansas City ignored Prohibition and emerged as the “Paris of the Plains.” Money, jazz and spirits flowed in the open. When asked how he justified ignoring Prohibition, Pendergast quipped, “The people are thirsty.” Today the people are still thirsty. Tom’s Town satisfies that thirst by producing premium craft spirits. You can taste the high standards and attention to detail in every sip of the gin, vodka and bourbon they make.
Steve Revare founder, factotum Steve has lived in the KC area his whole life. He’s a serial entrepreneur who is excited to introduce a new brand that shows what Kansas City creativity can do. Most Memorable Drink: “My most memorable drink was a simple apple cider and whiskey concoction, served on the rocks. I had it at Nobu in Vegas. Soon after, I was refused entrance to a bar for wearing Converse All-Stars.”

David Epstein
founder, proprietor David is a fifth generation Kansas Citian. He was drawn back from New York by Kansas City’s recent cultural and entertainment boom to create a place where Jay Gatsby, Tom Pendergast and Charlie Parker would be happy to belly up to the bar. Most Memorable Drink: “Horsefeather! The taste of horse flesh and feathers has always appealed to me.” Page 11
