BOHEMIAN GROVE
Drink without consequence.
In a copywriting seminar, we were tasked with creating an imaginary business, exploring places where copy could be useful to create a specific atmosphere.
Bohemian Grove is named for the campsite famous its elite clientele. It's a bar where every patron gets to feel powerful enough to be a part of a high-level government conspiracy.
FRONT DOOR
Cremate your cares, those who enter.
Low-jinx ensue.
While this bar is not so secret as a traditional speak-easy, the only signage is this cryptic display on the front door, adding a tone of mystery.
THE OATH
I shall protect the secrets I learn tonight, as well as the bodies of my brothers and sisters. I shall seek merriment above all.
The Oath hangs behind the bouncer, and patrons are required to swear it as they enter.
