Craftsman Row Saloon's Nightmare Before Christmas Pop-Up Returns This Thursday

Hey Philly, it's just about that time again, the time to trade your summer bar crawl for a spooky one.

Because Craftsman Row Saloon's Nightmare Before Christmas pop-up is back, and it kicks off this Thursday, September 10.

If you thought it was too early to start celebrating Halloween, we're going to need you to relax. However, does your ideal fall night involves a little Jack Skellington, a lot of Halloween decorations, themed cocktails, oversized milkshakes, and no interest in subtle seasonal décor? In that case, you're going to want to make your way to Center City this weekend.

Welcome to Halloween Town

Every year, Craftsman Row Saloon goes completely overboard for its seasonal pop-ups, and the Halloween takeover is one of the biggest reasons Philadelphia’s bar scene starts getting spooky weeks before October 31.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is once again taking center stage, with this year’s theme iteration taking the shape of the “Enchanted Nightmare.”

The Drinks Are Part of the Show

Of course, the decorations are only half the reason to make the trip.

Craftsman Row is known for going absolutely feral with its themed drinks and food, and the Halloween menu is designed to match the atmosphere.

Craftsman Row's seasonal menu is expected to bring back the kind of over-the-top cocktails the pop-up has become known for, alongside festive fall drinks and plenty of opportunities to raise a glass to the spookiest time of year.

And if cocktails aren't enough to satisfy your sweet tooth, the bar's famous oversized milkshakes are also part of the pop-up experience.

This Is Your Sign to Start the Halloween Bar Crawl

It's also an easy stop for anyone spending the night bouncing around Center City. Grab dinner, hit the pop-up for a few drinks, snap some quick photos, and then keep the night going.The pop-up is scheduled to run throughout the Halloween season, giving you plenty of time to stop in and check out the décor. So grab your favorite drinking buddies and get ready to get spooked! Now that patio season is on borrowed time… When the temperature drops, you know where we’re headed.
