Game Night at Lore Speakeasy

Every Wednesday, we wear cloaks. 🧝‍♀️⚔️ Lore's weekly game night is your weekly escape into something magical. Meet new friends as you traverse our two speakeasies and find different games to play. This week, we have a special collaboration with a dedicated Blood on the Clocktower group to have several games going in our Main speakeasy. In our Lord of the Rings inspired lounge, our staff transforms into LOTR characters, Bardcore covers of your favorite pop songs fill the air, and expect different tables playing various euro and lighthearted strategy games. Arrive in a full LOTR costume and we'll take $5 off your food and drinks. 👑 Feel free to bring a game you love from home, or discover a new favorite here from our collection. Whether you're a seasoned strategist or just looking for a great night out, there's a seat at the table for you. See you!!!!🍸🎶 📅 Every Wednesday \| 📍 Lore Speakeasy\, Mission District SF 🔗 [www.loresf.com](http://www.loresf.com) \| @lore_speakeasy \| discord\.gg/hAF9UGhejy
