From one-off spooky signature drinks to fully themed cocktail menus, local restaurants and watering holes are cranking up the creepy and the kooky this Halloween. Here are some of the most fang-tastic sips around town.
Spooky Island Cocktails from Problem Child // The always-fun team behind this midtown bar is going full Scooby-Doo with a menu inspired by the 2002 film. We just know Velma would order the Jinkies with Montenegro, reposado tequila, blood orange, lime, pomegranate, molasses and a Tajín rim.
Nighty Night Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout from Lost Forty // That’s right, fiends. The brewery is tapping a keg of its 2025 brew, but it’s only on draft, so you’ll have to haunt the space yourself to get it.

Halloween Cocktail Menu from Rock Town Distillery // This lineup comes with five times the toil and trouble, featuring everything from the sour Monster Mash (pictured at top) with bourbon, cognac, lemon and fig jam to the savory Blood Sacrifice with basil vodka, bloody mary mix, hot sauce, olive brine and pepper-stuffed olives.
Sinister Sips at Brood & Barley // This Argenta joint doesn’t hold back on a theme, and that goes double for spooky season. Their Halloween cocktail lineup features flavors like black walnut, blood orange, cranberry, mango, violet and much more.

The Dragon’s Eye at A.W. Lin’s // If you like your sips with a little bite, look no further. The downtown location of A.W. Lin’s is serving up this cocktail with passion fruit vodka, lychee liqueur, Blue Curacao, cranberry, lime and an eyeball on top, if you dare.
