Spooktacular Halloween Festivities Coming to Charleston with Haunted Pop-Up and Creative Cocktails!

Spooktacular Fun Awaits in Charleston!

Hey there, Charleston! Can you believe that Halloween is just around the corner? The cold air is creeping in, and soon enough, we’ll be swapping out our fall pumpkins for Christmas trees. But before we decorate for the holidays, let’s talk about some exciting festivities that are about to light up downtown!

A Haunted Pop-Up Experience

This year, the popular downtown restaurant Prohibition is gearing up for some frightful fun with a brand-new pop-up event called Beetlejuice. From October 24 to November 2, the place will be transformed into a spooky haven, complete with over-the-top decorations that are sure to give everyone a bit of a thrill!

Deliciously Spooky Menu

Now, let’s talk about the star of the show: the menu! The talented mixologist Jim McCourt has whipped up an array of specialty dishes and cocktails that will have your taste buds dancing. Imagine sipping on a Patron drink served in a blood bag or a Bacardi Rum concoction straight from a black cauldron! There are also test tube shots of Cazadores Café that promise a good time. Sounds like the perfect way to celebrate Halloween with friends, doesn’t it?

Costumes Encouraged!

Prohibition wants to see your creativity shine! They encourage guests to come dressed in their best Halloween costumes. No need to go home and change; just slip into your spooky attire straight from the streets! The atmosphere will be buzzing with excitement from Monday through Thursday, 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. and Friday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.. And yes, reservations are available, so make sure you don’t miss out!

Looking Ahead to the Holidays

But wait, there’s more! Just when you think the fun stops with Halloween, Prohibition is already planning for the Christmas season! Starting the day after Thanksgiving, you can welcome back Sippin’ Santa, a delightful Christmas wonderland equally filled with festive decorations.

Much like the Halloween pop-up, expect a tantalizing array of specialty dinner, brunch, and lunch menus that will put you in the holiday spirit. Plus, prepare to sip on some charming Christmas-themed cocktails served in adorable holiday mugs. Whether you’re gathering with friends or planning a cozy date night, there’s something for everyone here!

And Other Fun October Events

While we’re gearing up for Halloween, we shouldn’t forget that Dia de Muertos, or the Day of the Dead, is also just around the corner. A lovely way to honor and remember loved ones, it has become an increasingly popular holiday with families. In fact, Mattel is celebrating by releasing two new dolls to commemorate this special day. How cool is that?

Mark Your Calendar for National Croc Day!

And let’s not forget about National Croc Day, which falls on October 23. This is your official excuse to break out your boldest Croc colors and show some love for these comfy shoes! Maybe plan a little Croc-themed gathering with your friends—that sounds like a blast!

There are loads of tips available to help keep your home cozy and warm, and they don’t have to break the bank. Why not get started now so you can enjoy the festive seasons ahead without any worries?
