Edgar Allen Poe themed speakeasy is coming to New Jersey

It doesn’t have to be spooky season for you do honor one of the kings of horror: Edgar Allen Poe.

Fans of the macabre can soon enjoy a chilling pop-up Poe experience in Bound Brook in August.

Edgar Allen Poe cocktails at Alley 14

From Aug. 7 through 9, Alley 14 in Bound Brook will transform into a candlelit speakeasy.

The venue will not only have retellings of the iconic horror author’s tales, but there will also be themed cocktails.

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.

Some of the drinks include “Evermore,” a black and gold cocktail with orange peach blossom vodka; and the “Cocktail of Red Death,” made with fresh-squeezed seasonal fruit.

There will also be mocktails available for those who don’t partake, though the event is still 21+.

Led by the speakeasy’s lead mixologist and Poe historians, this immersive evening promises to be a chillingly unforgettable experience.

The works of the master of horror will be read by Poe historians. You can look forward to hearing renditions of "The Raven," "The Black Cat," "Masque of Red Death" and the "Tell-Tale Heart.”

The Poe experience runs about an hour and 30 minutes, with sessions taking place at 6 p.m., 8 p.m., and 10 p.m..

Tickets can be purchased here.

Also, despite being a born and raised Jersey girl, I do have to throw this in because my family members are huge Baltimore fans: Go Ravens.
