Summary:
The Social Society Frohsinn, called the German Club of Mystic, marks its centennial as of 2006. Mystic also had a Polish Club and an Alpine Club. German workers at the Rossie Velvet Mill formed a club where men could drink and sing on one floor, and have music and dances for men and women on another floor. Rudy Favretti, whose father belonged the Alpine Club, remembers sitting in his Aunt's garden and listening to the German Club's music. It may be the oldest bar in continuous use in the United States since it ignored prohibition and for some reason was able to do so. Today the club exists for all nationalities.
