A Pop-Up Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy Is Opening For Halloween In Michigan
In 2023 for Halloween, the thing that got me in the mood and the spirit for the season was the release of the Netflix series Fall of the House of Usher. The classic Edgar Allan Poe work is one of my favorites, and the show did an amazing job intertwining many of Edgar Allen Poe's works into the show.
This year a pop-up speakeasy all themed around Edgar Allan Poe is making its way to Michigan and will be posted up in one of the most iconic buildings in Kalamazoo. The pop-up speakeasy will be located at Henderson Castle between October 10 and October 12.
As the event site describes, this will not only be a combination of spooky cocktails but a night to step back into the mind of Edgar Allen Poe, as told by those who have made a personal career of studying the poet:
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the dark and mysterious world of Edgar Allan Poe. This exclusive speakeasy will transport you to a bygone era as you sip on expertly crafted cocktails inspired by four of Poe's most beloved stories. Led by the speakeasy’s lead mixologist and Poe historians, this immersive evening promises to be a chillingly unforgettable experience.
Tickets start at $48 and go up to $55. For three days the speakeasy will be open, and host three shows a night on Thursday & Friday, and every two hours from Noon to 10 PM on Saturday. If you're interested in going you can purchase tickets here.
