  • The Woman With the Raven - Episode IV
    Mar 12 2026

    In this episode of Ancestors Tavern, we step into an old tavern tale drawn from Irish folklore and the kind of stories our ancestors once told by candlelight.

    It begins with a coffin, a young woman standing beside a grave, and a promise that was never kept.

    Years later, travelers whisper about a woman who walks the road with a raven on her shoulder… and a habit of collecting the hearts of cruel men.

    Some say she is a ghost.

    Some say she is justice.

    But in old folklore, those two things are often the same.

  • The Raven of the Hollow - Episode III
    Mar 8 2026

    Tonight's pour at Ancestors Tavern is The Raven of the Hollow.

    In a forgotten forest where wolves sing beneath the moon, something older than the wild walks through the mist. The elders say the Raven watches the lost children...and when he passes, the wolves bow.

    Pull up a chair. This is a story best told by candlelight.
