Samhain

Halloween Pop-up Bars

A Halloween Celebration
Pop-up Bars

October 1-31, 2026

The bonfires of Samhain burn bright at seven enchanting McMenamins, beckoning spirits and keeping the darkness of winter at bay. At Samhain, an ancient Celtic festival, the veil between this world and the Otherworld grows thin, faeries and departed souls cross over, and humankind honors its dead. To dodge the mischief of evildoing spirits, people dressed in disguise; to ensure they survived until the days grew longer, offerings of food and drink were made to gods and nature spirits.
 
To you we offer a menu inspired by modern-day Halloween – delicious cocktails and alcohol-free drinks like El Diablo and the N/A Jack-o’-Lantern Mule, and tasty bites like Ichabod’s Slider Trio and Herman Muenster Grilled Cheese Toasties with apple butter and fried sage.
  
Whether you carve a turnip or a pumpkin, may the spirits of Samhain be on your side this year. Happy Halloween!
