Enter if you dare: Halloween-themed Black Lagoon pop-up bar coming to Austin

The spine-tingling pop-up will take over King Bee in east Austin from Wednesday, Oct. 9 to Thursday, Oct. 31.

A fake skeleton decoration pops out from behind a dark bar at the Black Lagoon Halloween-themed pop-up bar. In the background, neon green, purple, and orange lights add to the scary vibes.

We’d die to go to this Halloween-themed pop-up bar of our nightmares.

Muah-haha. A spirited, Halloween-themed pop-up bar is coming to the Capital City, turning east Austin’s cocktail bar King Bee into an eerie haunt for all who dare from Wednesday, Oct. 9 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
