Tablerock is an immersive food & beverage experience that welcomes guests into an eerie desert landscape. Once inside they realize… They are not alone. Inspired by the extraterrestrial tales spun by locals in West Texas and New Mexico, Tablerock invites its guests to ask, “what if aliens are real… and what would we drink to celebrate the arrival of our new overloads?”
