Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us over the last 12 months since Crit and Ale was born. We are beyond grateful for all of the businesses and individuals that have supported our growth over the last year. It is always a bitter sweet moment parting ways from any of the programs we have worked to build, but we are extremely excited for the countless new doors that are opening for us and can't wait to see where we are in another year from today. We want to wish the best of luck to Pawn and Pint and their amazing new Events coordinator Skye who will be taking over the Friday Night Karaoke program in our absence and hope that our friends and supporters will continue to visit her and support her as she continues to bring this event to life each week for you all. Thank you to everyone who has ever sang a song with us, shared a laugh, or just simply said hi to us at any point during our time at Pawn and Pint. We are truly honored to have gotten to work towards building this program up from the ground and know that we are leaving it in amazing hands moving forward.

The lights are low.
The jazz is playing.
And somewhere in the room, a murderer is waiting.

Welcome to Fade to Black, an all-new immersive film noir mystery from Crit & Ale.

Every suspect has a secret.
Every conversation could reveal a clue.
Every decision brings you one step closer to the truth… or sends you chasing the wrong lead.

This isn’t dinner theater.
This isn’t an escape room.

It’s a living mystery where you and your team become the detectives.

Tickets are on sale now. Choose your city below and see if you can solve the case before the killer disappears into the night.

We wanted to give a shout out to one of our regulars and share a quick little story. Back in March one of our now regulars attended our first ever design your own board game workshop at Pawn and Pint-Official . During this we got to chat and found out that the inspiration for the game board they were designing came from not only “a book” but THEIR BOOK. Turns out that they are an amazing published children’s author. Ever since this first event they have been joining us consistently for both our creative workshops and weekly events like Trivia at Nirvana and Friday Night Karaoke and each week it’s truly such a fun few minutes of conversation. Anyways flash forward to today; they gifted us a copy of their book! It is truly a cute and endearing story and we wanted to share it with you all! If you have kids, are a child at heart, or are just a cat lover be sure to check out their book! Link in the comments below!
