If you love a good ghost story \u2014 and a strong drink \u2014 this one\u2019s for you. The Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy<\/a> is making its mysterious return to Lubbock<\/a> for just three nights only, and this time, it\u2019s darker, deeper, and even more intoxicating!<\/p>\n

\"93.1The Return of the Raven<\/p>\n

After selling out shows across the country, the Poe Speakeasy: Chapter Two<\/a> will take over The Historic Baker Building<\/a> in downtown Lubbock (1211 13th Street) from November 20th through November 22nd, 2025.<\/p>\n

Each 90-minute show promises an immersive mix of storytelling, atmosphere, and spirits \u2014 in every sense of the word. Guests will be guided through four new Edgar Allan Poe tales, including The Cask of Amontillado<\/a>, Annabel Lee<\/a>, The Pit and the Pendulum<\/a>, and The Fall of the House of Usher<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And yes, you\u2019ll get four themed cocktails to sip on while you listen.<\/p>\n

Dark Tales and Strong Drinks<\/p>\n

The evening isn\u2019t just about hearing the stories \u2014 it\u2019s about living them. Historians and performers bring Poe\u2019s haunting words to life inside the candlelit, Gothic-styled Baker Building, transformed into a 19th-century speakeasy straight from the author\u2019s imagination.<\/p>\n

Expect dim lighting, eerie ambiance, and a few surprises that will make you feel like you\u2019ve wandered right into one of Poe\u2019s poems.<\/p>\n

Tickets start at $55, and since it\u2019s a speakeasy, it\u2019s a 21-and-up event. Each ticket includes admission, four craft cocktails, and a night you won\u2019t soon forget \u2014 unless, of course, the spirits take over!<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need to have attended the first installment to enjoy this one \u2014 Chapter Two stands alone, with all-new stories and cocktails.<\/p>\n

Plan Your Night Out in Downtown Lubbock<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re heading downtown early, grab dinner before the show at a local favorite like The West Table<\/a>, Italian Garden<\/a>, or La Diosa Cellars<\/a>. For a little post-show nightcap (if you\u2019re still brave enough), swing by The Nicolett Bar<\/a> or Manhattan 9<\/a> \u2014 each has the kind of moody, literary vibe that pairs perfectly with Poe.<\/p>\n

Lubbock may not be haunted (well, mostly), but for three nights this November, The Baker Building will absolutely be alive with the ghostly genius of Edgar Allan Poe.<\/p>\n

Get your tickets before they disappear into the shadows \u2014 just like The Tell-Tale Heart.<\/p>\n

If someone\u2019s never been to Lubbock, what\u2019s the first local food spot you take them to impress them?<\/p>\n
