Dust off your broomsticks and fly to Nashville’s fall-themed pop-up bars

Nashville’s pop-up scene just got a lot more festive with the addition of new themed bars and hidden speakeasies.

“Double, double toil and trouble.” Why, yes, we will take a double at one of these six fall pop-up bars that have landed in Nashville just in time for Halloween.

APOTHECA, Bode Nashville’s Sidebar | Open through Thursday, Oct. 31

  • Watch the cobwebs as you step into the apothecary-inspired space and watch as the bartenders mix up spellbinding potions. Tickets aren’t required, but they do guarantee you entry + one themed drink.

The Sandworm, Noelle’s Hidden Bar | Open through Thursday, Oct. 31

  • It’s showtime. It’s a winding road to Winter River where you’re met with beetle bites that pair with specialty sips like the Crystals Speak to Me (Papa’s Pilar dark rum, Aperol, pineapple juice, lime juice, and egg whites).

The Raven’s Nest, Holston House’s Bar TENN | Open through Thursday, Oct. 31

  • This moody pop-up inspired by Gothic literature features a live tarot reader on select nights and a Deadmoon Smashburger on the menu.

Black Lagoon Pop-Up, Barrel Proof | Open Thursday, Oct. 10 through Thursday, Oct. 31

  • If creepy is more your style, this traveling pop-up makes a Nashville stop and combines goth and metal to sell the dark dungeon haunt.

“Halloween"-inspired pop-up, Schulman’s | Open Thursday, Oct. 24 through Thursday, Oct. 31

  • Schulman’s is going slasher-style with nods to the 1978 classic. Try this: Dr. Loomis Loaded Lone River (loaded Ranch Water with a cinnamon sea salt rim and spiced pear).

It’s Fall, Y’all, Dream Nashville’s Parlour Bar | Open through Monday, Nov. 18

  • Skip the spooky spots and lean into all things autumn, complete with pumpkins, hay bales, mums, flannel blankets, and a porch swing photo opportunity.
