The Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy was awesome! 10/10! We heard 4 of Poe's stories and each one came with a themed Cocktail. Good vibes, good drinks and the actors were great.

Luckily, I had no issues finding parking during my visit. Reservations are available online, but by the time I decided to book, it was too late. We decided to take our chances and showed up without a reservation. After ringing the bell, we were warmly greeted by the hostess, who was able to seat us in the cozy couch area. Our server, Francesca, was wonderful and gave us some great drink recommendations. We ordered a few drinks and settled in to enjoy the experience. Even reading through the menu was fun--they have some unique rules that definitely add to the speakeasy atmosphere. The only downside was that the party seated next to us was extremely loud, which happened to go against one of the rules. Unfortunately, their volume didn't seem to be addressed. Aside from that, we absolutely loved our drinks and had a great time. Overall, we're so glad we got to experience this place. It was a fun and unique experience, and we're definitely thankful we made the visit!

The classics are executed perfectly, and the featured drinks menu delivers an excellent variety of balanced, unique cocktails. The atmosphere is moody, cozy, and inviting. It's a great spot to settle in with a friend or partner and enjoy good conversation. There are tons of cozy armchairs and sofas made of rich, sumptuous velvet and bathed in candlelight - just what you'd expect from a speakeasy. The staff is knowledgeable, professional, and always friendly. They'll make you feel right at home and are happy to answer any questions. Don't be deterred if you're not a cocktail buff - they'll help you figure out the right drink for your palate. I really love this spot and am so thrilled that E'town is finally moving into the cocktail scene. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

When I looked at the menu, I quickly realized the online menu was completely different from the menu they actually gave me. The menu in person was all BBQ options, but since I was pretty hungry, I decided to give it a try. I ordered the half chicken, which came with two sides. I was a little disappointed with the side options, but at that point I was hungry and didn't really care. The food came out pretty quickly, and honestly, I wasn't too impressed by how it looked. But wow, was it tasty! The chicken was smoked perfectly, and the meat literally fell right off the bone. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by both the food and the drinks. Definitely better than I expected based on the first impression!

We entered by the Speakeasy parking side and had no problem finding parking for our event. From the moment you walk in this place has so much charm and potential for whatever event is being held there! The bar display was beautiful ! A real class piece. We took some pictures as we entered the speakeasy entryway with nice lighting. The main room was so spacious and wide. We had room for a stage/band and about 45 tables of various sizes for seating, trees, wreathes, silent auction items and more! There was veggie and cracker tray out for a snack before the buffet opened. The restrooms were absolutely beautiful as well, clean and stocked through the event. The place is classically decorated to suit any occasion. I wouldlove to attend more events there!

They should have just stopped the show and exchanged his mic. We were cheated out of a whole section of the show. Second BIG thing was having to pay $30 to park in the lot. If you've already bought tickets to go to a show there, the parking should be included! That was crazy. It may stop me from attending another show there. Will definitely make me look elsewhere for parking if I do want to go to anything. Sorry, but that's just GREEDY.
