Welcome to Creatures & Cocktails, a storytelling speakeasy inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. Inside the glow of 722 Music Hall, you’ll join friends and strangers around the table, rolling dice, sharing laughter, and discovering how easy and exciting collaborative storytelling can be. Hosted by Allistar Barrett and award-winning author David Gallaher, it is Lynchburg’s most creative night out.
This is not your neighbor’s basement game night. It is a candlelit gathering where stories unfold, mysteries spark, and adventurers sip signature cocktails while learning the ropes at their own pace.
