As Halloween approaches, the Black Lagoon pop-up bar is back with its spooky charm, taking over San Antonio’s Three Star Bar from October 11 until the bewitching hour of October 31. Situated in Government Hill, the venue will be transformed with creepy decorations and Halloween-themed drinks, perfect for those seeking a taste of the macabre.
Black Lagoon, known for turning the ordinary into a Halloween haven, originates from the inventive minds of Erin Hayes and Kelsey Ramage, who first brought the concept to life in Toronto. As reported by Axios San Antonio, the franchise has since expanded to over 35 cities across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, a testament to its spellbinding appeal.
Guests can look forward to enjoying themed drinks such as Hex Appeal and Nosferatu's Rise, which have won over both critics and fans. According to MySA, Hex Appeal combines Fords gin, honeydew cordial, Lustau vermut dry, lemon, seltzer, saline, chlorophyll, and absinthe, while Nosferatu's Rise features a mix of amontillado sherry, coconut oil, cinnamon syrup, Bitter Queens Caribbean bitters, and saline.
The Black Lagoon initiative embraces all guests with a selection of non-alcoholic drinks, including the rooibos-based Blood Lust concoction, ensuring that everyone can partake in the Halloween festivities. This inclusivity highlights Black Lagoon's commitment to creating an all-encompassing Halloween experience. Additionally, patrons should be on the lookout for the 2024 cocktail menu, which, according to Axios San Antonio, is expected to feature a Tiki-inspired twist based on previews of last year's offerings.
