Black Lagoon, the dark, twisty, goth sexy, haunting and award-winning Halloween pop-up celebration from beloved industry veterans Erin Hayes and Kelsey Ramage, has returned for the fifth season of this spooky series. Think Haunted House meets Craft Cocktail Bar, meets Tales of the Crypt meets Halloween costume party, meets Dungeon in New Orleans, yes, it's inspired by the cult favorite vampire bar.
And the spirits are beckoning you into their depths of their immersive realm at Black Lagoon until November 2nd - check out the remaining schedule and locations across the U.S. and Canada below and get the latest at www.blacklagoonpopup.com on Instagram at @blacklagoonpopup.
The ghoulishly imaginative bar takeover expanded to 38 cities across North America this October, offering fans more sinister sips and haunted thrills than ever before. Conceived in 2019 at The Dungeon, a cult-favorite dive bar in New Orleans, founders Hayes and Ramage knew they were onto something wickedly unique and deliciously dark. Black Lagoon officially launched its first bar pop-up in 2021. Five years later, it has now cast its veil of darkness over major cities throughout the U.S. and Canada, expanding to 38 locations for the 2025 season.
“We wanted this year’s cocktails to push the boundaries of spooky creativity while also being approachable, fun and above all, delicious,” says co-founder Erin Hayes. “It’s important to us that every drink feels like an experience, whether you’re sipping tequila, rum, or even a zero proof cocktail.
