Griffin & Gargoyle

Griffin & Gargoyle aims to establish itself as a pioneering small-scale amusement venue. Located in a region rich with the history of Dungeons & Dragons, the venue offers an immersive fantasy experience that blends themed dining, interactive gaming, live entertainment, and ax throwing. By engaging visitors in an ongoing narrative of high fantasy, Griffin & Gargoyle transforms patrons into invested participants, enriching their experience and fostering a community of adventure enthusiasts.

Griffin & Gargoyle's unique customer engagement model includes interactions with staff, retail options, and a loyalty program designed to foster personal investment in the experience. Their actors and musicians engage patrons in hybrid improv/show experiences, evolving the tavern's atmosphere throughout each evening. This narrative approach extends to an overarching storyline that develops seasonally, ensuring patrons continually engage with the evolving story of The Griffin & Gargoyle., Less than 1.5 miles from their property lies the building where TSR, founded by Gary Gygax and Don Kaye, published and sold the ruleset for Dungeons & Dragons®, a revolutionary game created by Gary Gygax and David Arneson. This strategic location places Griffin & Gargoyle at the heart of international Dungeons & Dragons® tourism., Griffin & Gargoyle operates independently from franchises like Dungeons & Dragons®, owned by Wizards of the Coast® (a subsidiary of Hasbro®), ensuring no direct references to that intellectual property. Collaborators include former TSR employees pivotal in Dungeons & Dragons' creation, enhancing credibility within the fandom and positioning their venture as a leader in the roleplaying game and entertainment communities.
