This night will be filled with mystery, deceit, and murder. Who will the killer be? That is up to you to figure out, or at least who to pin it on before the police arrive.

Is this a Murder Mystery Dinner?

No, this is a cocktails-only event. With it only being a 2-hour event there is no meal planned as the mystery will take the entire time. We encourage you to grab a meal prior to the event at the nearby Dempsy's Food & Spirits. Grab a bite to eat then walk on over to our event at Dempsy's Jury Room.
