The Return of the Raven

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

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

And yes, you’ll get four themed cocktails to sip on while you listen.

Dark Tales and Strong Drinks

The evening isn’t just about hearing the stories — it’s about living them. Historians and performers bring Poe’s haunting words to life inside the candlelit, Gothic-styled Baker Building, transformed into a 19th-century speakeasy straight from the author’s imagination.

Expect dim lighting, eerie ambiance, and a few surprises that will make you feel like you’ve wandered right into one of Poe’s poems.

Tickets start at $55, and since it’s a speakeasy, it’s a 21-and-up event. Each ticket includes admission, four craft cocktails, and a night you won’t soon forget — unless, of course, the spirits take over!

You don’t need to have attended the first installment to enjoy this one — Chapter Two stands alone, with all-new stories and cocktails.

Plan Your Night Out in Downtown Lubbock

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

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.
