Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy in Fort Collins, Colorado

Whether for a fun date-night in Colorado, or for a group of friends, speakeasys are some of the best. One, coming to Fort Collins for a second time, sounds like it will bring chills along with drinks.

Edgar Allan Poe wrote some of the most eerie and harrowing stories of all time; to take those stories and turn them into speakeasy was a great idea. Though I'm uncertain when this pop-up first hit Colorado, they're making a big deal about "Chapter 2" of the speakeasy.

Where Does the Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy Take Place in Fort Collins?

The Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy will be inside a wedding/events venue in Fort Collins, The Covey, about 20 miles northeast of Downtown. The Covey strives to make their space about making memories; attending a special speakeasy within the venue fits right into that endeavor.

I'm not familiar with everything Poe wrote, but just about everyone knows the story "The Pit and the Pendulum;" to see it performed in a speakeasy sounds amazing. Add in three other Poe stories and it's a real win, for the price.
