What is The Burning Blade Tavern?
The exterior of The Burning Blade Tavern draws inspiration from the fiery finale of the 1931 Universal Monsters film Frankenstein. An angry mob surrounded the old mill, trapping Frankenstein inside and setting it ablaze. Now, it has been transformed into a hangout spot for some of Darkmoor’s monster hunters. While enjoying tavern fare, you can hear stories of the infamous “Hounds” – boastful hunters from beyond Darkmoor – all while surrounded by an impressive display of monster heads they consider their “trophies.”
This lively watering hole offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Since it tends to get crowded, we recommend heading to the outdoor area for a bit more elbow room. The easiest way to reach it is by taking the side path around the venue, though you can also access it through the indoor space—it just might take a little longer.

In Dark Universe, which is in Epic Universe.

Fun Facts
- The windmill atop The Burning Blade Tavern erupts into flames several times an hour. Using two types of fuel in varying ratios, the spectacle is easily visible to guests both day and night.
- Before the windmill ignites, the bell tower in Darkmoor will ring, signaling the sighting of monsters and leading into a brief, minute-and-a-half preshow before the blades ultimately burst into flames.
