Halloween is just around the corner, and several of Nashville’s bars are conjuring the spooky spirit all month long. Here are five of our favorite eerily good Halloween pop-ups.

Do you love “Stranger Things”? East Nashville Beer Works has transformed into an homage to the show, with spooky ’80s decor, themed cocktails, and a special menu, including Eggo waffles! This pop-up ends Nov. 2.

Starting Oct. 15, White Limozeen, Nashville’s Dolly Parton-themed bar, is turning into a haunted honky-tonk (aren’t they all haunted?), with Halloween decor and bewitching cocktails like the R.I.P. — Reese’s in Pieces, Children of the Candy Corn, and Firestarter. On Halloween, they’re hosting a costume contest.

This 12 South Mexican restaurant is celebrating the Day of the Dead with festive decor, themed cocktails, and special treats until Nov. 2. They will also host a Halloween costume contest on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1.

Skull’s speakeasy vibe makes it the perfect spooky bar. This year, they’re serving up two Halloween cocktail specials: Skeleton Key and Witch, Please. Plus, murder mystery burlesque shows will run on Oct. 23-26 and Oct. 30-Nov. 1.

Hidden Bar is going all out with its Halloween decor, featuring red lighting, vials of blood chandeliers, and an abundance of spiderwebs. Themed cocktails include Raven’s Whisper, Ode to the Night, and Death by Garlic (garlic-infused … vodka?!). Order blood bags on Mondays and Tuesdays only — that’s right, blood bags. They’re hosting a Blood Moon Ball on Halloween.
