Dungeon Crawler Market

Fantasy Meets Craft Beer at Orlando's Dungeon Crawler Market

Hourglass Brewing transforms into a marketplace for gamers, collectors, and fantasy enthusiasts on Saturday, October 10th from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. The dungeon crawler market brings together vendors selling everything from dice sets and miniatures to handcrafted gaming accessories, all while the brewery keeps its taps flowing. This all-ages gathering merges Orlando's craft beer scene with its thriving tabletop gaming community, creating an afternoon where shopping for your next campaign happens alongside sampling local brews.

What to Expect:
The market sets up inside and around Hourglass Brewing's industrial-chic space, giving vendors room to spread out their wares while maintaining that brewery atmosphere. Expect tables loaded with hand-painted miniatures, custom dice, gaming books, art prints featuring fantasy themes, and gear that speaks to dungeon crawlers and tabletop RPG players. The crowd skews toward gamers and hobbyists who appreciate the niche offerings, though the brewery setting and family-friendly timing draw a broader mix of curious browsers and craft beer regulars.

Insider Tips:
- The 4:00 PM start means arriving early gives first pick of limited-edition items and custom pieces
- Bring cash for smaller vendors, though most accept digital payments
- The brewery's outdoor space provides breathing room when the indoor market gets crowded
- Chat with vendors about their craft - many are local artisans who game themselves and love talking shop
- Sample flights work better than full pours if planning to browse the full market
- Parking fills quickly along Curry Ford Road, so side streets become necessary after 4:30 PM

Getting There:
Hourglass Brewing sits on Curry Ford Road in the Mills 50 District, easily reached from downtown Orlando via South Street heading east. Street parking lines Curry Ford Road directly in front of the brewery, though spots disappear fast on event days. Residential side streets running perpendicular to Curry Ford offer overflow parking within a block or two. Bus routes 13, 15, and 51 serve the general Mills 50 area, with stops along the Downtown Connector Trail about a mile west of the venue. The walk from those stops takes roughly 20 minutes along Curry Ford Road. Drivers coming from I-4 should exit at Anderson Street and head east to reach the Mills 50 corridor.

Local Scene:
The Mills 50 District packed around Hourglass Brewing makes pre-market dining easy. Tamale Co. Mexican Street Food sits just steps away for quick, authentic street tacos before diving into vendor browsing. Leguminati offers coffee and light bites for those arriving early and wanting to caffeinate first. After the market wraps at 7:00 PM, Claddagh Cottage Irish Pub provides a natural next stop for continuing the evening in traditional pub fashion. Commission Beer Chamber sits a few blocks down for those wanting to extend the craft beer experience beyond Hourglass. The district's walkability means hopping between spots happens naturally, with most options clustered within a five-minute stroll of the brewery.
