Originally a casino, by the 70s the Rum Runner had become more of a conventional club. One of its first house bands, playing popular cover versions, went on to become Magnum featuring Bob Catley and Tony Clarkin. They left the club in 1975 to play their own material of melodic rock. Occasionally other live acts played such as Quill and Jigsaw.
Regular late night clientele were Black Sabbath, Roy Wood, Quartz and other notable Birmingham bands calling in after local gigs. Actors and staff from the nearby Central TV Studios also frequented the club.
1980s and closure
In the late 1970s the club was renovated by Paul and Michael Berrow, sons of the club's founder, based on ideas drawn from a visit to Studio 54 in New York.
In 1978 local band Duran Duran brought in a demo tape, and were offered a rehearsal space and jobs around the club—drummer Roger Taylor working as a glass collector, guitarist Andy Taylor cooking and maintaining the interior, bassist John Taylor working as a bouncer, and keyboardist Nick Rhodes DJing. The group became the resident band at the club. After playing their 1983 charity concert at Villa Park, they held the afterparty at the Rum Runner. In 2006 John Taylor and Nick Rhodes released a compilation album entitled Only After Dark, featuring their favorite songs from the Rum Runner playlist.
Rum-running, or bootlegging, is the illegal business of transporting (smuggling) alcoholic beverages where such transportation is forbidden by law. Smuggling is usually done to circumvent taxation or prohibition laws within a particular jurisdiction. The term rum-running is more commonly applied to smuggling over water; bootlegging is applied to smuggling over land.
It is believed that the term "boot-legging" originated during the American Civil War, when soldiers would sneak liquor into army camps by concealing pint bottles within their boots or beneath their trouser legs. Also, according to the PBS documentary Prohibition, the term "bootlegging" was popularized when thousands of city dwellers would sell liquor from flasks they kept in their boot leg all across major cities and rural areas. The term "rum-running" most likely originated at the start of Prohibition in the United States (1920–1933), when ships from Bimini in the western Bahamas transported cheap Caribbean rum to Florida speakeasies. But rum's cheapness made it a low-profit item for the rum-runners, and they soon moved on to smuggling Canadian whisky, French champagne, and English gin to major cities like New York City and Boston, where prices ran high. It was said that some ships carried $200,000 in contraband in a single run.
Rum Running was produced by Tell Tale Productions Inc. for CBC Land and Sea. The documentary was originally broadcast Sunday, February 19, 2012 at 12 Noon.
Rum Running describes the history of rum running and depicts the high stakes role that Nova Scotia and the French Islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon played during the era. The film reveals how thousands of law abiding citizens of Atlantic Canada were lured into the alcohol smuggling trade during Prohibition in the 1920's and 30s.

RUMRUNNER'S PARADISE
New Year's Eve, 1915 was a party to end all parties in Spokane. At the stroke of midnight, every saloon in the state would be out of business. This would be the "last call" before statewide prohibition would be enacted, closing the taps four years before the rest of the nation. But even as revelers saluted the new "dry" year, a lucrative "wet" underworld was forming between Spokane and Canada.

User Reviews (Amazon.com):
"Great Film! The costume design was spot on! I Loved the driving and flight scenes, and the scenery was beautiful!! The small prop planes that were used in filming were awesome, especially the old wooden propeller was a classy touch. The story telling was well played, the movie grabbed me right off the bat, jumping right into the action!. Remember, this is an independent film, not a multi-million dollar cgi blockbuster. It is made by real people, actors and actresses, background extras, costume designers, sound, lighting and camera operators, and dedicated individuals who came together to create something special, using real life driving, flying, and dialogue scenes. Kudos to all involved in this wonderful project! I enjoyed it very much!" Written by TheHippyChick
"This movie was put together pretty well for a low budget film. Some of the scenes and the acting wasn't up to par but was good enough for this level of an indie movie.
The writing, editing and directing was far better than one would expect from these little films. I've been to many of the locations in this film and you can see a lot of great shots from the surrounding areas in beautiful Washington State (kudos to the director). If you are a fan of low budget independent films and enjoy supporting them and the talented people who create them for our entertainment, then this one is for you. Overall on a low budget movie rating scale, I give Rum Runners an eight out of ten. Good work to the writer(s), cast, crew and director! I hope your movie and future work go far! Looking forward to the next piece of art from this director." Written by LLOLUX
"Well done period piece with excellent settings and storyline. Low budget indie with high production values. A great script and the acting was just superb. Well worth a look." Written by catch22

New Year's Eve, 1915 was a party to end all parties in Spokane. At the stroke of midnight, every saloon in the state would be out of business. This would be the "last call" before statewide prohibition would be enacted, closing the taps four years before the rest of the nation. But even as revelers saluted the new "dry" year, a lucrative "wet" underworld was forming between Spokane and Canada.
Originally a casino, by the 70s the Rum Runner had become more of a conventional club. One of its first house bands, playing popular cover versions, went on to become Magnum featuring Bob Catley and Tony Clarkin. They left the club in 1975 to play their own material of melodic rock. Occasionally other live acts played such as Quill and Jigsaw.
Regular late night clientele were Black Sabbath, Roy Wood, Quartz and other notable Birmingham bands calling in after local gigs. Actors and staff from the nearby Central TV Studios also frequented the club.
1980s and closure
In the late 1970s the club was renovated by Paul and Michael Berrow, sons of the club's founder, based on ideas drawn from a visit to Studio 54 in New York.
In 1978 local band Duran Duran brought in a demo tape, and were offered a rehearsal space and jobs around the club—drummer Roger Taylor working as a glass collector, guitarist Andy Taylor cooking and maintaining the interior, bassist John Taylor working as a bouncer, and keyboardist Nick Rhodes DJing. The group became the resident band at the club. After playing their 1983 charity concert at Villa Park, they held the afterparty at the Rum Runner. In 2006 John Taylor and Nick Rhodes released a compilation album entitled Only After Dark, featuring their favorite songs from the Rum Runner playlist.
The first gig of the ensemble’s retro roster was at The Rum Runner nightclub in 1980, and that same year Duran Duran would get signed to EMI Records, finding themselves poised for success at the speed of 33 1/3 rpm.
