When the Renaissance Faire gates close for the day, there's no reason the merriment has to stop. Head over to Millennium FANDOM Bar for a Ren Faire after party where knights, wenches, pirates, wizards and fae folk can keep the fellowship going well into the night. Doors open early with a BOGO happy hour on select drinks, giving you time to settle in before the dancing and drinking kick into full swing. Guerrilla Pizza Company will be slinging slices to keep the party fueled, so you won't need to worry about adventuring on an empty stomach.

Cosplay is encouraged but not required—come straight from the Faire in full regalia, corset laced and cloak fastened, or just show up ready to soak in the medieval atmosphere. This is a no-cover, 21+ affair at a bar that's built its whole reputation on celebrating fandoms and costumed revelry, so the vibe should feel right at home. Expect a mix of music, dancing, and the kind of chatter that happens when strangers bond over shared love of swords, sorcery, and tankards raised high. The tavern's open, the ale's flowing (figuratively or literally), and the story of the night is still being written.
