About Drake’s Hollow

Drake’s Hollow is a traveling immersive fantasy tavern built around good drinks, interesting characters, and stories you can actually be part of.

Each gathering brings the Hollow to life through live performance, interactive storytelling, quests, and a carefully crafted atmosphere. We work with local venues, performers, creatives, and community partners to create an experience that feels different every time the tavern appears.

As a guest, you can make the night entirely your own. Grab a drink, talk to the characters, pick up a quest, follow a rumor, or just hang out and take it all in.

How involved you get is completely up to you.

You don’t need any roleplaying or tabletop experience. Just show up, have fun, and see where the night takes you.

Meet the Founder

For the past ten years, including five running games professionally, I’ve sat behind the Game Master screen watching people discover the power of collaborative storytelling. Over time, I realized the best moments never came solely from the worlds I built, but from the personal stories my players brought to life within them.

Everyone has a story to tell, but traditional immersive experiences and tabletop campaigns often come with high barriers: rigid multi-month schedules, steep price tags, or intimidating rulebooks. I created Drake’s Hollow to tear down those barriers.

Drake’s Hollow is designed as an accessible, guest-driven pop-up fantasy tavern where you set the pace. Whether you want to unwind with a drink and soak in the atmosphere, or arrive in full costume to take on live mini-quests from traveling actors, the experience is yours to shape.

Watching our local community rally around this vision, bringing their own creativity, passion, and ideas to help build this world has been the most rewarding part of this journey. My goal is simple: to make Drake’s Hollow a warm, welcoming haven for anyone looking for great food, fantastic drinks, and a place to belong.

Come in full armor, straight from your 9-to-5, or anywhere in between! There will always be a seat by the hearth waiting for you.
