Are you the type who might be reading a book at home one day and out having drinks with friends the next? Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy is the new experience in Monterrey where live storytelling and mixology come together in a unique gothic setting divided into four parts. Themed drinks, dim lighting, and Poe’s universe all come together at the Versalles Theater: the definition of an unmissable night out.
What is Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy?
Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy is an immersive experience that blends live storytelling, themed cocktails, and a gothic atmosphere worthy of a great tale by the master himself. The show is divided into four parts, corresponding to four stories: “The Tell-Tale Heart,” “The Black Cat,” “The Raven,” and “The Masque of theRedDeath.” All are narrated live and accompanied by a cocktail designed specifically for each story.
Why do Edgar Allan Poe’s stories pair so well with a speakeasy?
Reading Poe is always an experience in itself, but doing so in an intimate, dimly lit space with a drink in hand? There’s no comparison. The dark, mysterious vibe of Poe’s universe finds its perfect match in the “speakeasy” concept (referring to the clandestine bars that became famous during Prohibition in the United States). An atmosphere that is now recreated in a unique way at the Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy: with signature cocktails and live storytelling.
