The Twisted Swan Celtic Pub & Temple of Bacchus
A well established Burning Man community
Twisted Swan Celtic Pub
The Swan provides an Irish pub vibe with a Geeky twist.
Nightly from 8 pm to 2 am, we provide home and craft brew, cider, and mead on tap. And of course, whisk(e)y.
We host the Thursday Irish Music Seisun (Session) The jam session brings instrument and vocal musicians together in true Irish pub tradition
Temple of Bacchus
Bacchus provides respite from the heat of the Burning Man day.
Our 24×7 shaded hammock lounge and floor cushions / soft pillow areas are inspired by a Middle Eastern and Asian aesthetic. Several large fans provide a breeze, too.
Ice cold water, lemonade, electrolytes, and “sessionable” sangria are provided from 2 pm to 8 pm
Our Hub
We are co-located with Poly Paradise. Our campers have the option to participate in their meal-sharing program. No one eats like Poly on the Playa!
Being polyamorous or practicing poly is not a requirement for camping with us, but being open-minded is.
Your adherence to the Ten Principles of Burning Man is paramount.
2025 Burning Man Theme: Tomorrow Today
This year’s 2025 Burning Man theme is an invitation to imagine the future in new ways, and to make it real through our collective actions. In the exuberant spirit of the prior century’s world fairs, which celebrated not only scientific progress but also cultural exchange and artistic excellence, the 2025 edition of Black Rock City will showcase Burning Man’s global culture of art and innovation. It will provide a venue for us to dream, invent, prototype and share our best and brightest ideas for the years ahead.
