Philadelphia, PA - Philadelphia's beloved Halloween pop-up bar, Nightmare Before Tinsel, is set to return this Friday, September 13th. The Midtown Village haunt will be open through Halloween, offering guests a spine-chilling experience with a new "Haunted Mansion" theme and an expanded second-floor space.
Nightmare Before Tinsel Returns to Philadelphia with a Haunted Mansion Theme
The brainchild of Teddy Sourias and Craft Concepts Group, Nightmare Before Tinsel has become a staple of the city's Halloween scene. "Each year, we get bigger and better, and we are thrilled to introduce an entirely new second floor to the space this year," says Sourias.
Co-designed by artists Scott Johnson and Alex Bokulich, this year's pop-up promises to be the most impressive yet. The expanded venue features new and returning life-size Halloween décor and figures, including a second floor dedicated to "Kaiju," or giant monsters. The bar on this floor showcases 12 of the most iconic giant monsters from horror history, lit dramatically by black lights.
Both the ground-floor and second-floor bars have been completely redesigned for this year, incorporating elements from the Belasco Collection of the United Kingdom, which provides occult and horrific artifacts.
The eerie-sistible beverage menu includes craft cocktails like the Blood Bag, Drunkula, and Morgue-a-Rita. Spirited shots like Green Witch Horror and OMG: Oh My Gourd is also available, alongside a selection of seasonal brews.
Nightmare Before Tinsel will operate on a walk-in basis from September 13th to October 31st. Opening hours are 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. On Fridays in October, we will also see a 2 p.m. opening.
Prepare to be spooked and delighted at this year's Nightmare Before Tinsel, where the Haunted Mansion theme and expanded space promise an unforgettable Halloween experience.
