TALES OF THE MACABRE

A cocktail experience so haunting, you’ll swear the spirits are real.

Step into the shadows and immerse yourself in “The Tales of the Macabre,” an hour-long anthology of dark legends and haunting folklore inspired by the mysteries of New Orleans and the surrounding bayou. Part cocktail event, part theatrical production, and part haunted mansion, this exclusive event weaves together storytelling and mixology to bring four chilling tales to life.

As you explore the haunted mansion, you will come across a series of 4 tableaus where our Tale Tellers will recount and reimagine these eerie tales as our macabre mixologist crafts a 3-part cocktail experience that embodies the essence of each legend.

Afterwards stay and enjoy The EEIRE ADVENTURER'S CLUB, our haunted 1930’s English Explorer’s Club and Cabaret, home to The Eerie Adventurer’s Society. It’s a social club for supernatural creatures, eccentric explorers and mad scientists. Within this ancient parlor of horror, science fiction and adventure, our guests are entertained among the unusual and the bizarre! The Cabaret Show typically starts around 7:30pm till around 11pm and offers access to those who have experienced Tales of the Macabre. Bar service in the club is available via a 3 Cocktail drink upgrade to your Tales Ticket... limited by availability. And we insist on wearing smart casual attire.

Open for a limited engagement on select nights Spring though Summer, Tales has a 21+ age requirement to enjoy the full-service cocktails as part of your experience. Mocktails are available for those who choose not to partake in our spirits or are too young to indulge to enjoy the flavor of the full experience.

Before Evil Had a Name, It had a Beginning!

THE QUEEN OF THE NIGHT

Long before the monsters. Before the witches danced under the stars, before wolves howled at the cursed moons, before the dead refused to stay dead…

"This is a really great haunt! I've been to many and this is a very unique one. Since it's inside a house the ups and downs make it feel very long and it's easy to lose your bearings, which is a good thing. This is a really excellent haunt and I highly recommend it!"Teegan L
