Pittsburgh Halloween Bars to Eat, Drink, and Be Spooky

Time to explore the joys of a grown-up Halloween at bars: Eerie cocktails, holiday playlists, and perhaps even dressing up for a chance to win a prize. Where do we go to do all of the above? Pittsburgh has a graveyard full of Halloween-themed bars open for the whole month of October to light up your heart with a pumpkin-colored glow. 

Pittsburgh Halloween Bars to Eat, Drink, and Be Spooky

Jekyl and Hyde Bar

South Side

Here, it’s spooky season year-round! You’ll find Halloween decor all over the place and haunted-themed drinks to match. The bar features different events throughout the week and is best known for its karaoke nights. 

The Nightmare Before Mixtape

Garfield

For lovers of everything Tim Burton, this pop-up is for you. Featuring props from movies like The Nightmare Before Christmas or Beetlejuice and plenty of neon paint, it’s the perfect photo opportunity. Plus, the ticket to get in includes a free Burton-themed drink and interactive chances to win prizes. 

The Witching Hour

Strip District

When Fridays and Saturdays come around at Wigle Whiskey, The Witching Hour haunts the bar floor. As you head into the spooky atmosphere, grab a specialty cocktail at the bar like the Hocus Pocus Martini or Witches Brew. Then, take a seat among the haunting tunes and eerie lightning to enjoy your refreshments. 

Harold’s Haunt

Millvale

This ghostly bar is a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community to get their haunt on. It’s open to people of any orientation and carries creepy-themed cocktails and shots like the Mothman’s Night Out shot. The bar celebrates ghouls all year long and even features sober nights and non-alcoholic beverages each day. 

The Chipped Fang

Strip District

Head to a secret lair of vampires buried within the Strip District. This 90-minute interactive experience includes entrance to the gothic lair, non-alcoholic mocktails, and a production by performers featuring challenges for the audience.

Cocktails From The Crypt

130 Seventh Street

Coming back from a break in 2023, Cocktails From The Crypt makes sure every sip you take is a spooky one. Try their Vampire Ballerina cocktail with disappearing cotton candy and vampire fangs inside. Or, you can even try a blood bag that hangs by your table to bring you back to life.
