TOPO'S MURDER MYSTERY PARTY OCTOBER 26!

"It is 1929, as the reign of prohibition keeps the entire country dry for nearly a decade. In the center of a sleepy Midwestern town sits a grand yet discrete building seemingly as quiet and still as the surrounding fields. But with a flick of a secret switch and a whispered password, a panel opens revealing a sordid soiree of raucous revelry. The building hides more than just a clandestine speakeasy. It protects the secrets of a bygone era, concealing long forgotten mysteries in it's resplendent design and ornate decor. The underground gin joint is buzzing with excitement because tonight, at midnight, is when the building's original owner claimed he would return from the grave, exactly fifty years after his death. As the party begins, bootlegging beauties foxtrot with corrupt politicians, rabble-rousing flappers sip bathtub gin with big city mobsters, and impassioned Jazz singers serenade dolled up debutantes. The problem is, one of you is a murderer."

7:00 pm Wednesday October 26th
Topos 403 (403 N Walnut Bloomington IN)
Your ticket includes: (Must be 21+ or 16+ with an adult)
* Admission to the murder mystery in the upstairs section of Topos 403.

TEMPORARILY CLOSED FOR RE-ORGANIZATION - STAY TUNED!

Topo’s 403 wishes to let our cherished loyal guests and the general public know that restaurant service will be closing temporarily to re-organize and re-staff. The restaurant will be closed effective January 20, 2015 through the end of January most likely. At this time, the restaurant plans to be open and prepared for Valentine’s Day, one of our most popular nights of the year for dining out.
Topo’s head chef recently left the restaurant for personal reasons. The restaurant is currently seeking qualified candidates to fill the position, and expects to hire new staff members to work under the new Chef as well, once that position is in place. All other staff will be returning to the restaurant with the re-opening.
“Topo’s will re-open “new and improved”, serving our signature style of Greek and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, all made in-house with the freshest and highest quality ingredients”, says Managing and Creative Director Stephanie Topolgus. “We have cultivated a loyal and happy following, who appreciate our unique menu, bar offerings, and casually elegant atmosphere within our historic property. We love our local music crowd, who have enthusiastically supported us as we have presented great local talent who bring so much vibrancy to our beloved old house. We hate to disappoint our guests during this down time, but are gearing up to come back in style, of course. We wholeheartedly thank our friends and community for their continued support.”
