There are so many ways to spend Halloween, how do you choose? Some people spend October looking for the creepiest haunted house they can find, while others are fully committed to pumpkin’ed out everything. Still others just want to throw on a costume, grab a cocktail, and have a really good night out.

Whatever your Halloween personality, Craftsman Row Saloon’s Halloween pop-up has a cocktail to match.

The Center City bar gets into the spooky spirit with Halloween decorations, themed cocktails, and plenty of reasons to make a night of it. So instead of asking what you're drinking, we're asking a much more important question: What kind of Halloween are you?

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. 

There was a time when cocktails were not trying to be mysterious. People were out here ordering Melon Balls like they had stock in melon liqueur. French Martinis made everybody feel impossibly sophisticated, and bars served shots with names nobody questioned. Then somewhere along the way, cocktails got… serious. Bartenders started describing cocktails using words like washed, clarified, and expressive.

But what do you think, we kind of secretly miss having fun, don’t we? 

Philadelphia may be far from the Louisiana, but that didn’t stop Craftsman Row Saloon from bringing full New Orleans energy to the city with its green, yellow, and purple clad Mardi Gras Pop-Up.

The Oval at Eakins Oval is winding down its summer run, closing on September 14 after nearly three months of transforming eight acres in front of the Art Museum into the city’s most colorful pop-up playground.

Since the middle of June, The Oval has been a hub of live performances, movie nights, mini golf, and easy summer lounging. Now, with only a few weeks left, Philadelphians are squeezing in one last visit before the gates close until next year.
