Dinner and a Movie Night: The Princess Bride (1987)
⚔️ Dinner & a Movie Night: The Princess Bride (1987) 👑⚔️ "As you wish." Join us at Captain Scurvy's Black Dragon Den on Wednesday, August 19th as we present The Princess Bride—the beloved fantasy adventure filled with romance, pirates, sword fights, giants, revenge, and some of the most quotable lines in movie history. When the beautiful Buttercup is kidnapped and forced toward an unwanted marriage, the mysterious Man in Black sets out on a daring quest to rescue her. Along the way he'll cross swords with the legendary Inigo Montoya, outwit the brilliant Vizzini, befriend the mighty Fezzik, and prove that true love really can conquer all. Equal parts fairy tale, comedy, swashbuckling adventure, and romance, The Princess Bride has become one of the most beloved films ever made—and a favorite among Renaissance Festival fans. 🎬 Movie Ticket: $10 🍽️ Dinner Ticket: $40 👑 Full Feast & Film Experience: $50 (Thy movie ticket helps cover the licensing fee for the screening.) ⚔️ BONUS: Arrive in pirate, Renaissance, princess, or noble attire and receive 10% off thy tavern tab! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🍽️ The Princess Bride Feast 🥣 Miracle Max's Perpetual Stew Our famous perpetual stew served with warm house bread. 🍖 The Dread Pirate's Banquet Slow-roasted tri-tip with mashed potatoes, rich gravy, and seasonal vegetables worthy of Florin. 🍰 Buttercup's Sweet Revenge A rich triple-layer caramel or chocolate mousse cake. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya..." may be heard throughout the tavern. ⚠️ Saying "Inconceivable!" is highly encouraged. ⚠️ True love may take slightly longer than expected. 🎬 Doors Open: 5:30 PM 🎥 Movie Begins: 6:00 PM 📍 Captain Scurvy's Black Dragon Den 2601 Minnesota Ave • Billings, MT 🎟️ Our last Princess Bride Dinner & Movie completely SOLD OUT... and more than half the seats for this showing are already gone!
