Fraunces Tavern's kitchen sends the club's lunches by dumbwaiter until the two managers quarrel
After the Anglers' Club was established in 1940 on the second floor of the adjoining tavern, Fraunces Tavern at first supplied its food, which was sent up by dumbwaiter. An argument between the two managers ended the practice. The club had no outside sign when a New York Times reporter visited in 1975.

A bomb left in the entrance of the Anglers' Club building kills four people
On January 24, 1975 a bomb exploded in the entrance vestibule of the Anglers' Club at 101 Broad Street, next to Fraunces Tavern. It killed four people and injured more than 50. The Puerto Rican group FALN claimed responsibility, in a note left in a nearby phone booth, saying the dynamite-filled attache case answered a deadly restaurant bombing in Mayaguez two weeks earlier.

A Times profile finds Presidents Hoover and Eisenhower among the club's members
A New York Times reporter visits the Anglers' Club, which has no sign outside, and counts about 250 members, 150 of them living outside New York. Presidents Herbert Hoover and Dwight Eisenhower have been members, and so has the conservationist Laurance Rockefeller. Hoover's dry flies are still venerated, though gathering dust, annual dues are $125, and the club does not admit women.
