Muah-haha. A spirited, Halloween-themed pop-up bar is coming to Funkytown, turning South Main Street’s Nickel City neighborhood bar into an eerie haunt for all who dare from Friday, Oct. 11 to Thursday, Oct. 31.

Dubbed the Black Lagoon Pop-up, the “creepy as Hell” touring bar experience is hitting up 35+ North American cities this fall, turning venues into dark, ghoulish hideaways.

Two Halloween-themed cocktails, both bright red. One is in a skull-shaped glass, garnished with mint and the other is in a gimlet-style cocktail glass garnished with apple slices.

The pop-up features a curated drink menu that pairs with the vibes. We spy a few creepy cocktails that look like they’d slay.

  • Hex Appeal | Fords Gin, honeydew cordial, Lustau Dry Vermouth, lemon juice, seltzer, saline + Absinthe
  • Blood Lust (non-alcoholic) | Giffard Sirop, miso falernum, Rooibos Tea, lemon juice + ginger beer

We’re keeping an eye on Nickel City’s Instagram as the dates creep closer.
