THE
CANTON CLUB VAULT
Born out of our love for bourbon and fine wine, The Canton Club Vault offers members an exclusive and unique experience.
Step back in time to a prohibition-styled speakeasy, reminiscent of the illegal operations that thrived in Canton's "Redlight District" during the early 1900s, where bootlegged alcohol was sold to eager patrons.
A discreet side door entrance from The 19th Hole indoor golf venue allows our members to come and go as they please, ensuring privacy and comfort.
Enjoy craft cocktails or purchase and collect fine spirits by the bottle, securing them in your personal safe deposit locker inside the vault. These spirits are yours to savor during important meetings or a night out on the town
OUR
History
Since 1896, the "Sicilian Black Hands" used the city of Canton as a midway point between Chicago and New York. Canton and the surrounding Stark County area became a hub for mafia operations, earning a reputation for violent crime and later gaining the nickname, "Little Chicago." Mafia influences were a strong presence in the area through World War II.
Since 1907, the members-only "Canton Club" was revered as the premier lounge and dinner club in town, serving some of the most notable and affluent individuals of that time, including Al Capone.
In 1923, the Canton Club moved to the First National Bank building at Tuscarawas Street and Market Avenue. The original club was restricted to men only until 1983. After nearly 100 years of success, membership dwindled, and it was forced to close its doors in 2000.
Today, we are pleased to bring the rich history of Downtown Canton back to life with the reopening of the Canton Club. An original Diebold Vault, which sat empty in the basement of the building for years, has been renovated and restored into the new lounge space for The Canton Club Vault.
