From haunted cocktail bars to pumpkin patches and immersive Halloween experiences, these pop-ups are bringing the best of the spooky season to Philly<\/a> this fall.<\/p>\n

The Enchanted Nightmare at Craftsman Row Saloon<\/p>\n

Craftsman Row Saloon\u2019s Halloween Pop-Up this year has been dubbed “The Enchanted Nightmare.” Open now, the space is decked out with floor-to-ceiling Halloween d\u00e9cor inspired by classic horror and Halloween movies, including thousands of twinkling lights, floating witches\u2019 hats, cobwebs, skeletons, spiders and even a massive 20-foot-plus sandworm.<\/p>\n

2026\u2019s Halloween menu brings back fan favorites like the Vampire Burger, Boo-schetta, Spiderweb Chips & Guac and Spookghetti & Meatballs, alongside new creations like the Oktoberfest Burger, Pumpkin Sage S\u00e9ance ravioli, Monster Tacos and a Candy Apple Turkey BLT. The bar is equally festive with sips like the Pumpkin Margarita, Witches Goblet and Fortune Teller\u2019s Poison, plus playful shots (including one dubbed \u201cBobbing for a Bad Apple\u201d).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

And, of course, Craftsman Row has some over-the-top milkshakes included \u2014 guests can choose from the popcorn-and-candy-covered Scary Movie Night, fall-inspired Pumpkin To Talk About, candy-loaded Mad Scientist or boozy Caramel Apple Crypt. The Halloween<\/a> takeover here runs through Oct. 31.<\/p>\n

The Pumpkin Press at Newsroom Philly<\/p>\n

The Pumpkin Press is now open at Newsroom Philly. The six-week Halloween pop-up here is inspired by the legends of Sleepy Hollow and Edgar Allan Poe\u2014which is definitely fitting given the venue\u2019s proximity to the Edgar Allan Poe National Historic Site in Northern Liberties.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Secret of the Olympia\u2019<\/p>\n

This two-night 21+ experience will transform the historic Olympia warship into a 1920s-era mystery. Guests will begin with a psychological evaluation from the \u201cdoctors\u201d of Arkham Asylum, which determines their character and role for the evening (like detective, journalist, or even an occult scholar), before receiving clues to help unravel the mystery aboard the vessel.<\/p>\n

Over the course of the night, guests will navigate the ship to solve riddles, investigate clues and interact with more than a dozen characters. A live band and cash bar will cap off the experience, but those who opt for VIP will also receive early access, drink tickets, additional clues, a private toast with the captain and secret experiences.<\/p>\n

Set for Oct. 10 and 11, the event encourages guests to dress in 1920s-inspired attire for the full experience. Tickets start around $70.<\/p>\n
