Hello, Downtown!
Bartenders and mixologists are clever souls. Give them a holiday like Halloween and creativity pours out.
The public will dress up as Labubu dolls, KPop Demon Hunters or Elphaba from “Wicked” and go looking for liquid courage.
In various downtown San Diego bars you can order a: Black Widow. Blood Lust. Corpse Reviver. Dracula’s Kiss. Dream Reaper. Frozen Rum Reaper. Ghoul Aid. Hex Appeal. Horrorchata. Nosferatu’s Rise. Poison Apple. Pretty Poison. Vampire Blood.
Want a brewsky? Get in the spirit with Ashes of the Dead from Alesmith Brewing Company. Or, Reaper Venom from Night Parade Brewing Company.
Haven’t had enough pumpkin-flavored F&B this year? Get a Pumpkin Spice Old Fashioned at Prohibition. A Pumpkin Spice Martini at El Chingon. Pumpkin Spice Daiquiris will be in the blender at Havana 1920.
There are pop-up events. See if it’s alive at Frankenstein’s Mad Scientist Cocktail Lab at Toxica Cantina. Dance into Death by Disco at Werewolf American Pub. Order up an Ashes to Ashes or a Black Magic Maria. Get a selfie with Jack Skellington before you leave.
Wanna go all out? The Grant Grill has its annual “Addams Family” themed dinner on October 31. There are 13 courses and five uniquely curated cocktails on the menu:
- Killer Virgin Mojito and Killer Hyde Mojito
- I Know Higher Valued Corpses Than That Boy
- Homage To Prof Orllof*
- What’s Missing? Human!
- The Past Is Never Dead. It Is Not Even the Past. In Fact, It Is All Still Happening
Happy Hangover!
*Prof Orllof is the biology teacher (played by Christopher Lloyd) in the Netflix series Wednesday, whose head is preserved in a jar.
