Brought to you by skilled Poe historians and expert mixologists, the Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy is a must for cocktail aficionados, literature buffs, or simply those seeking a new adventure.

Travel back to the 19th century and watch the thrilling tales of Edgar Allan Poe come to life as you listen to retellings of The Raven, The Black Cat, Masque of Red Death, and The Tell-Tale Heart. Infused with powerful themes of love, loss, and regret, the legendary tales explore dark yet intriguing aspects of the human psyche.

Attendees will enjoy four complimentary cocktails during the suspenseful show. Beverages include the Nevermore, a black-and-gold cocktail crafted with orange peach blossom vodka, and the Cocktail of Red Death, a spirited nightcap with freshly squeezed seasonal fruit. Mocktails are also available for those looking to imbibe without alcohol.
