💬 Heather L. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This event was awesome. The drinks were perfectly balanced, the actors were friendly and amazing. I liked the audience participation and that you didn't need to know D&D to understand. We had a great time and would go again!"

Description
Behind the grand doors of Stan Mansion, velvet curtains part, chandeliers glow, and a forbidden tavern comes to life. Once a symbol of Chicago’s Gilded Age opulence, the mansion now hides something far stranger…
The Dungeon Cocktail Experience (DCX) is a high-energy fusion of improv comedy, immersive fantasy experience, live music, and handcrafted cocktails — all unfolding inside one of Chicago’s most dramatic historic spaces.
Sip three themed craft cocktails as the story twists, laugh at razor-sharp comedy, and help steer the adventure through audience-driven choices that genuinely shape the night. Every show is unique, every decision matters.
Some say Stan Mansion remembers every story told within its walls.
