The Nightmare Bar

The Nightmare Bar opens at Eleventh Hour Brewing Co. on Saturday, October 24, at 7 PM. It's a Halloween pop-up bar that takes over the brewery for a 90-minute experience, and it's not a haunted house—the whole room is filled floor-to-ceiling with spooky décor, and the night is built around themed cocktails, music, games and photo opportunities. Costumed characters host challenges throughout, and you're encouraged to come in fancy dress yourself.

Showtime Presents is producing it as part of a 15-city tour, and they describe it as part Halloween pop-up, part live interactive experience, drawing inspiration from classic horror films and the works of Tim Burton. The 90-minute format means you're not just grabbing a drink and heading out; it's a timed ticket, and your entry includes a seasonal welcome drink. From there, themed food and Halloween cocktails are available to purchase separately.

It's for over-21s only, so keep that in mind before you book. Tickets start from $14, and since they're timed, you'll want to pick a slot that works for you. If you're looking for something to do over the Halloween weekend, the pop-up continues on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights through October 31, with Sunday sessions running as well. You can find it at Eleventh Hour Brewing Co., 3711 Charlotte St, Pittsburgh, PA 15201.
