Edgar Allan Poe has been inspiring readers and writers for decades. Soon the literary luminary’s influence will be manifest in a slightly more unexpected way-as the driving force behind an upcoming DFW bar called Nevermore Tavern. The concept is bringing the essence of Poe’s timeless work to Lewisville, and according to recently filed forms, work will begin on the project soon.
Nevermore Tavern will be inviting visitors to ponder, weak and weary, in a striking storefront located at 170 W Main Street, Suite 101. Paperwork filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation shows that the establishment will occupy a remodeled 3,500 square foot space.
Nevermore Tavern first appeared on social media in October of last year. It appears that forward motion is finally occurring; while dates included on TDLR forms are estimates, they can provide a general timeline, and Nevermore’s paperwork states construction will begin on the project on July 1 and should wrap by October 1. If these dates prove accurate, Nevermore Tavern may be customer-ready for the Halloween season.
Nevermore Tavern promises to be the go-to place for literature and horror enthusiasts alike. The concept strives to provide a night out visitors won’t soon forget; one full of art from local creators, books available for purchase, and of course, a like-minded community. The website offers an exciting hint as to what’s in store, saying: “Our concept goes beyond a simple theme; it is a full sensory experience. In addition to offering a meticulously crafted menu and unforgettable cocktails, we want to be your community hub for literary and social events. Our calendar is filled with special programming, including book and poem readings, trivia night, book signings, Poe-themed bingo, and live music. We also host curated drink tastings, a lending library, and regular book club meetings, fostering a community of literary enthusiasts.“
