Your guide to 10 Halloween boo-zy and spooky events in Philly

There’s a slight chill in the air. Crispy yellow leaves piled high on the sidewalk. Ghosts and goblins in every other window. Killer clowns and demonic witches in City Hall’s beer garden. Beetlejuice parties from Society Hill to Manayunk. And from doughnuts to mac and cheese, pumpkin is everywhere.

Spooky season is officially here, and you don’t have to be a kid to enjoy all the ghoulish fun — those mini Hershey bars and Kit Kats are for you, too, grown-ups. Not to mention, the city has plenty of haunted bars serving all the boo-ze you could possibly wish for.

Here’s where and when to party with spirits and witchy brews around the city.

Things have turned ”freak show” at Uptown Beer Garden. The Center City venue transports you to a carnival freak show, complete with creepy killer clowns, demonic and animatronic witches, and fortune tellers. Or you can ignore them and enjoy cocktails like the Blood Bag, a peach and cranberry vodka, or the Demonic Energy, a Devil’s Reserve tequila with triple sec, lime, and watermelon Red Bull.

Note: Children and youths under 21 are welcome with a parent or guardian any day of the week, except after 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
