Care to try your hand at some tavern games by candlelight?

The Gadsby’s Tavern Museum (134 N. Royal Street) is hosting a night of drinks and games at 7 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 19.

Tickets are $25 and include one drink ticket. The event is recommended for those 21 and older.

According to a newsletter from the Office of Historic Alexandria:

Taverns were a hot spot for ‘sporting’ culture — some taverns even lived and died by what games that had on offer! Enjoy drinks, a brief presentation about 18th-century gaming culture, and the opportunity to try your hand at a variety of 18th-century games.
