BLACK TOT DAY - TUESDAY JULY 31

HALF PRICE ALL NAVY RUM DRINKS - ALL DAY LONG

On July 31, 1970, the British Navy eliminated rum rations for their sailors. A very sad day for all rum drinkers. Come join us at Frankie's Tiki Room and say yes to rum!!

Tomorrow is Black Tot Day!

Black Tot Day - July 31st, 1970, when the last "tot was drawn in the fleet around the globe; a rather touchy subject with the old and bold!" Black Tot Day was officially the last day that Pusser's Rum was issued on board ships in the Royal Navy.

If you're in the Portland area, you can get it at Hale Pele tonight: https://www.facebook.com/events/531002636967665/

320 Main in Seal Beach, CA is also having a Black Tot celebration at 7pm tonight.

The event is too rich for me, but I hope somebody is able to make it.

http://www.blacktot.com has a cool website.

I was all ready to call "Racism" on this thread, but never mind.......
where is my TOT!

That Black Tot dinner is a great deal. Smugglers Cove charges $100 for a shot of Black Tot rum w/no food as they have never served any.

Black Tot Day is upon us again! We're offering a great chance to try the exclusive rum, made for the Royal Navy from 1655-1970, hidden in storage for 40 years, only sipped for Royal Weddings until 2010 when it was bottled and brought to 320 Main for your tasting pleasure!
