My Top 7 Spots for Spooky Drinks in NYC

Jasmine Caceres

As a holida-fanatic, I live for September - December. So if you’ve spot me this month, it’s probably at one of these spots.

  • Loreley Beer Garden in New York, United States

      Loreley Beer Garden alternates themes are season from Oktoberfest to the Haunted Beer Garden to Snowy Winter Wonderland. We’re currently in Pumpkin Keg season and while drinking beer drafted straight from a gourd may seem extra, it’s extremely fun.

  • House of Spirits: A Haunted Cocktail Soirée - NYC in New York, United States

      This has become an annual must-do with my girls and I could not suggest a Halloween activity more. As if the creepy walkthroughs, skeleton musicians, and giant Ouija board weren’t fun enough, each floor is themed differently with a different cocktail.

  • Oscar Wilde in New York, United States

      This year’s theme is Creepy Circus so if you’re okay with terrifying clown animatronics then definitely drop by for a cocktail. And if you last long enough, definitely order some of the best truffle fries for your group!

  • The Cauldron NYC Magical Pub in New York, United States

      The Cauldron is technically themed to Halloween and wizardry all year round but it hits different closer to Halloween. Weather you prefer a beer (drafted from a magical tree), yummy mocktails, or cocktails, there’s something for everyone in your friend group. I recommend the White Pony if you want a nice buzz or the Phoenix Father (shared with friends) if you want a BIG buzz.

  • Rooftop Reds in New York, United States

      I absolutely love Rooftop Reds. What’s better than a wine flight in a mini vineyard overlooking the city? The answer is Rooftop Red Pizza Wine Movie nights which include the above plus popcorn and pizza. You’ll catch me sipping wine during Hocus Pocus but other films include Addams Family Values, The Conjuring, and more.

  • Lillie's Victorian Establishment in New York, United States

      Lillie’s is a great spot for dinner and drinks or brunch (I highly reccommend the Grand Marnier French Toast) but is even funner during the holiday season. With the inside full of cobwebs and skeletons scaling the restaurant walls on the outside, it’s definitely a must-visit during Halloween time.

  • Beetle House in New York, United States

      Beetle House is wildly popular but worth an autumn visit if you can get in for a drink. If you don’t mind a three-course meal with your spooky drinks, reservations can be made for dinner. I’ve personally already watched Beetle Juice two times this season - so this is a must-visit spot for fans. Highly recommend the Edward’s Lemonade.
