ABOUT THE SOCIETY
THE GAMESMEN SOCIETY CONSISTS OF A GROUP OF GENTLE MEN AND WOMEN WHO COME TOGETHER AT OCCASIONAL POP-UP COCKTAIL PARTIES TO RE-LIVE, THROUGH LIBATION, ADVENTURES FROM THE GOLDEN AGE OF EXPLORATION.
EACH MEETING OF THE GAMESMEN SOCIETY WILL BE CENTERED AROUND THE MANY EXPEDITIONS OF THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS. WE HAVE PAINSTAKINGLY REVIEWED THE DIARIES, NOTES, AND LETTERS OF OUR FOREFATHERS TO CRAFT PERFECT COCKTAIL MENUS CENTERED AROUND THEIR FANTASTIC ADVENTURES.
GUESTS WILL BE INVITED TO CHOOSE THREE COCKTAILS FROM A MENU OF SIX THAT ARE METICULOUSLY HANDCRAFTED USING SELECT SPIRITS, THE FINEST INGREDIENTS, AND HAND-CUT ICE.

HISTORY OF THE SOCIETY
JUST BEFORE THE DAWN OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, OUR GREAT GRANDPARENTS, BEING PEOPLE OF ADVENTUROUS SPIRIT, FORMED A SECRET SOCIETY OF LIKE-MINDED INDIVIDUALS THAT CRAVED MORE THAN THE ORDINARY. FOR OVER FORTY YEARS THE SOCIETY TRAVELED THE WORLD AND WERE INTRODUCED TO NEW AND EXOTIC CULTURES, GASTRONOMIC EXPERIENCES, AND UNIMAGINABLE LIBATIONS.
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF THE GAMESMEN SOCIETY ULTIMATELY MET THEIR DEMISE. IGNATIUS O’DONNELL DIED AT THE POINT OF A TRIBESMEN’S SPEAR. DEFOREST MCDOUGLE WAS LAST SEEN AS HE SET SAIL FROM THE CAPE OF AFRICA ON A SOLO VOYAGE BACK TO THE AMERICAS. WILHELM MEYER’S DOGSLED WAS RECOVERED IN ANTARCTICA BUT HIS BODY NEVER WAS. WHILE NONE OF THESE GREAT MEN SURVIVED THEIR ADVENTURES, THEIR STORIES LIVE ON.
WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN US IN A MODERN DAY GAMESMEN SOCIETY WHERE WE WILL ATTEMPT TO EXPERIENCE A SMALL PIECE OF THEIR LIFESTYLE THROUGH THEIR LIBATIONS.

A MEETING OF THE GAMESMEN SOCIETY IS AN EVENT DESIGNED TO RECREATE AN EXPERIENCE UNLIKE ANYTHING POSSIBLE TODAY. TOGETHER WE WILL REVISIT THE GOLDEN AGE OF EXPLORATION IN SOME OF BAKERSFIELD’S MOST UNIQUE LOCATIONS SELECTED SPECIFICALLY FOR EACH EVENT. YOU WILL BE INVITED TO SELECT THREE COCKTAILS FROM A MENU OF SIX, CRAFTED WITH RECIPES GLEANED FROM ADVENTURES DATING BACK MORE THE ONE HUNDRED YEARS. UNFORTUNATELY, SPACE IS GENERALLY LIMITED TO BETWEEN TWENTY TO THIRTY MEMBERS. ATTENDANCE WILL BE FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE.
THIS EVENING WILL BE INSPIRED BY SOME OF THE DARKER AND MORE DELICIOUS ADVENTURES OF THE GAMESMEN SOCIETY. IN THEIR JOURNEYS, IT WAS COMMON FOR MEMBERS TO MEET WITH INDIAN SHAMANS, VOODOO PRINCESSES, AND POLYNESIAN HEADHUNTERS, TO NAME ONLY A FEW. FROM THESE ENCOUNTERS, THEY WERE INTRODUCED TO MAGICAL ELIXIRS, SPIRITUAL POTIONS, AND ENCHANTED REMEDIES. YOU ARE INVITED TO ENJOY THREE COCKTAILS FROM A MENU OF SIX INSPIRED BY THESE ANCIENT RECIPES.
