Halloween in New York, the tracker

Beetle House

Bar · East Village

Getting a table will require a small miracle, especially in October, as it’s one of the most popular Halloween bars in New York City.

Originally opened as a pop-up, Beetle House became so popular the bar became a permanent fixture in New York City and expanded to Los Angeles. As the name suggests, the bar plays off the film Beetle Juice and other popular Tim Burton films (but isn’t affiliated with the filmmaker).

Getting a table will require a small miracle, especially in October, as it’s one of the most popular Halloween bars in New York City. The entrance is adorned with a neon sign that reads, “Every day is Halloween,” and decorations from the film. (like a giant Jack Skellington head), themed dishes, and creepy cocktails are all par for the course at Beetle House.

Unpopular opinion. Controversial opinion. You don’t need a speakeasy to have a great cocktail in NYC.
