Black cats and witches on brooms — Halloween first transformed into a mainstream celebration in Prohibition-era America. This year, Halloween returns to the 1920s as the mischievous spirit takes over The Underground speakeasy for a spine-chilling party. Enjoy craft cocktails, a costume contest, live jazz at 8 p.m. by Coco and The Sidecars and plenty of ghostly vibes.

Say password “Spells & Spirits” at the speakeasy side door for free entry. Must be 21 and over to attend.

Cocktail Specials | Available October 25-31

Corpse Reviver No. 2 | Dating back to three years before Prohibition ended, two versions of the Corpse Reviver were featured in bartender Harry Craddock’s 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book. Now known as a signature hair-of-the-dog remedy, this sip is sure to wake the dead. Featuring Bombay Sapphire gin, Lillet Blanc, Cointreau, lemon and absinthe.

Trick or Treat | Inspired by the traditions of Irish and Scottish immigrants, trick-or-treating ballooned in popularity across the U.S. in the 1920s, but before the Second World War, the tone was much more mischievous than what we know as a harmless tradition today. Share in the fun this Halloween with the “Trick or Treat,” a blend of boozy Stroh 160-proof spiced rum and Smuggler’s Reserve, balanced with the decadent combination of heavy cream and chocolate liqueur.

The Pumpkin King | Halloween is rooted in the Celtic celebration of summer’s end, Samhain (pronounced Sow-wen), and this cocktail is rooted in fall flavors. On Samhain, Irish and Scots would place turnips carved with menacing faces in the windows of homes to ward off evil spirits like that of Stingy Jack. Said to have tricked the devil in life, Jack was unable to rest in death and his soul doomed to the earth. When early 20th century Irish and Scottish immigrants learned how much easier pumpkins were to carve, Stingy Jack became the pumpkin king. Featuring Sazerac Rye, Galliano, dry curaçao and Crème de Noyaux.
