[A Study in Scarlet]
[Bartitsu]   Don your deerstalker and get out your walking stick for an evening of Sherlockian splendor at Brooklyn's illustrious steampunk bar The Way Station. Mark Donnelly, Professore di Armes, will introduce Bartitsu, the "gentlemanly art of self-defense" practiced by Sherlock Holmes. Discover the exciting world of Victorian ruffians, garroting panics, militant suffragettes, and physical culture that made Bartitsu a 19th century craze.


Fabulous raffle prizes!
Sherlockian-themed cocktails!
Vintage Sherlock on the screen!


21+ per NYC law. Admission is free but a $5 donation to offset Professor Donnelly's transportation costs is appreciated.
