House of Shields Rumors

There’s plenty of mystery surrounding our little bar. Here’s a sampling of the many rumors that circulate about the House Of Shields, which we will neither confirm nor deny:

• A tunnel that links House Of Shields to the Palace Hotel, leftover from the bar’s days as a speakeasy.
• The camera on the mezzanine/live music room that projects over the bar is actually beamed straight to Schlomo’s iPhone for his personal amusement.
• During Prohibition, President Warren G. Harding got tanked at the bar and was then smuggled back to the Palace Hotel by his advisors where he expired from alchohol poisoning.
• Joe DiMaggio once punched a hole in wall near the bathroom when he learned of one of Marilyn Monroe’s many affairs.
• The Internet was invented here, during a Thursday happy hour.
• The massive urinal in the men’s bathroom is actually a bathtub, turned on its side.
• The ghost of a former bar patron haunts the mezzanine.
