An adventure that goes beyond the ordinary… into the shadows.
Conceived by historians specializing in Edgar Allan Poe and top mixologists, this speakeasy stands as a must-visit for cocktail lovers and literature enthusiasts.
Step back in time to the 19th century and immerse yourself in the thrilling tales of Edgar Allan Poe. The actors in this experience bring “The Raven,” “The Black Cat,” “The Masque of the Red Death,” and “The Tell-Tale Heart” to life for our enjoyment. Each story explores poignant themes such as love, loss, regret, and much more. It’s a journey through the human psyche that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
Before each story, you’ll be served a cocktail, such as the Nevermore—a vodka-based cocktail with orange and peach blossom—and The Red Death, a full-bodied digestif made with seasonal fruit. For those who prefer not to drink alcohol, the speakeasy also offers non-alcoholic cocktails.
