Fans of Gothicism and horror will be pleased to hear of a new pop-up bar coming to Dublin this November for just one night only. The Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy will come to The Round Room at The Mansion House on November 16 for an enthralling evening of cocktails and chilling retellings of Poe’s famed stories and poems. Tickets have just gone on sale – and given the bar is only in the city for one night, you’ll need to be quick to secure your tickets.
The pop-up bar, which has appeared all over the US, is set to visit Ireland next month; it’s a must for cocktail aficionados, literature buffs, and lovers of dark tales. It’s very fitting that these stories from the 18th century will be retold at The Mansion House, which itself has been operating since 1821…
What can you expect at the Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy in Dublin?
Edgar Allan Poe is renowned for his short stories and poems, depicting mystery and the supernatural; nearly 200 years later, his tales are still loved. At the Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy in Dublin, four of the most beloved stories will step off the page and onto the stage: they’ll be retold by dedicated Poe historians. The evening will span an hour and a half, and feature classics like The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and Masque of Red Death.
Throughout the evening, you’ll be served four cocktails perfectly paired with the stories you hear, creating a deliciously chilling atmosphere in more ways than one. Effectively, the night will bring Poe’s tales to life, one sip at a time.
Edgar Allan Poe’s legacy will live on in Dublin at this event; however, as this is an immersive cocktail experience, guests must be aged 18+ to enjoy this Gothically great evening.
