Halloween Bars and Pop-ups in Long Beach
While kids are planning their costumes for trick-or-treating, grown ups in Long Beach are making a list of bars for sipping spirited and spooky beverages.
Many of your favorite Long Beach bars and restaurants are transforming into local haunts in celebration of Halloween and other mystical fall-time celebrations. Read on and make your plans for some fun and frightening nights out.
BEACHWOOD BREWING & DISTILLING
A dazzling array of spooky sips awaits you at Beachwood Brewing & Distilling (3630 Atlantic Ave) in Bixby Knolls, where house-made spirits and bitters are used in a special menu of Halloween drinks. Starting October 1, their “Sips from the Crypt” pop-up is back all month long. And don’t miss their special events in October, including the doggie-themed Howl-o-Ween event on October 17, and the Beachwood Halloween Party on October 31 with DJ Smarty McFly and oracle card readings with Brenda Lopez.
THE ORDINARIE
Shuffle your bones down to The Promenade for The Haunting at The Ordinarie, starting October 1 and running until November 2, 2026. The same team behind The Ordinarie’s extraordinary holiday pop-up, Miracle, calls this year’s Halloween pop-up bigger and stranger than ever, featuring an all-new lineup of spooky cocktails, collectible mugs, vintage Halloween oddities, and floor-to-ceiling decor throughout the bar. Lunch reservations are available daily for this popular pop-up, and the experience is walk-ins only in the evening.
TELEFÈRIC BARCELONA
For those interested in creative mixology that turns a simple drink into a work of art, check out the Halloween cocktail special at Telefèric Barcelona (6420 Pacific Coast Hwy Ste 160). Inspired by one of cinema's most captivating villains, “The Joker” is a fascinating beverage that undergoes a dramatic transformation when exposed to UV light. First, the cocktail is crafted with wasabi-infused gin, Fino Sherry, house-made parsley syrup, and a balanced acid solution, all coming together for a drink with herbal brightness, subtle heat, and savory complexity. The Joker is finished with a delicate skeleton leaf garnish and UV light presentation for a moment of spooky drama.
ROXANNE'S
There’s an entrancing tavern on the edge of town where hidden doors lead to hidden bars for mysterious encounters and dark delights. Experience 45 days of Haunted Heights at Roxanne’s (1115 E Wardlow Rd), a series of Halloween events accompanied by a new menu of Halloween cocktails and bites. From September 19 to November 2, 2026, the five venues housed at this haunt will host events like Spooky Movie Nights in Marie’s Tek Tec, Tim Burton Trivia Night, a free Trunk or Treat with VW car club, and a Hollywood Murder Speakeasy.
MIDNIGHT OIL
Mist swirls over the water, obscuring the creatures swimming beneath. Do your eyes deceive you? Better grab a drink. The renowned Black Lagoon pop-up comes to Midnight Oil (255 Long Beach Blvd, Ste A) in Long Beach October 1 to 31, 2026. Experience immersive decor, cinematic lighting, chilling soundscapes, and all-new cocktails served in collectible glassware. Try a spooky sip or two, like Abyssa’s Obsession, featuring pumpkin-infused spiced rum, sherry, coconut, pineapple, lime, and bitters, or the Bad Omen, a non-alcoholic drink with Giffard Sprits, pineapple juice, lime juice, vanilla honey, and club soda.
DOLORES
Once the massive skeleton peeks his head over the restaurant’s rooftop, Long Beach knows that Halloween has truly arrived at Dolores (2105 E 4th St). New “Nightmare on 4th Street” menus featuring spooky food, drinks, and special treats are available all month long, and every Thursday night at 7 PM, enjoy a Halloween movie projected with surround sound. See your favorites, including Practical Magic (Oct. 8), Beetlejuice (Oct. 15), Scream (Oct. 22), The Craft (Oct. 29), and Halloween (Oct. 31), while fully immersed in the spooky atmosphere of Dolores’ temporary haunting.
ANGEL’S SHARE
Taking inspiration from Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice, whiskey bar Angel’s Share (5110 2nd St) in Belmont Shore has transformed for the season and will host their atmospheric pop-up now through November 2, 2026. Check out their Halloween-themed cocktail menu, creepy decor featuring sandworms poking out of the walls, and weekday happy hour, available Monday through Friday from 3 to 6 PM.
PORT CITY TAVERN
The siren’s song calls to weary sailors promising comfort and refreshment at Dead Man’s Cove, the Halloween pop-up at Port City Tavern (4306 E Anaheim St) returning for another year from October 1 to November 1, 2026. Creative themed cocktails and over-the-top nautical decor comprise this sea-worthy saloon, and buccaneers can revel most heartily during Port City’s pirate-themed party on October 24 and the annual silent disco the night before Halloween.
THE BAMBOO CLUB
This beloved tiki bar already trades in fantastical escapes, and this month the South Pacific vibes turn spooky as The Bamboo Club (3522 E Anaheim St) transforms into The Tremble Club. From September 28 to November 3, enjoy a new menu of Halloween-themed cocktails and scary decor. Reservations are recommended for this popular haunt, which will also be hosting special events in October, including a Creepy Cats & Cocktails fundraiser on October 18.
