DETROIT – A Halloween pop-up bar is coming to Detroit this October with a brand-new cocktail menu.
Black Lagoon was created by Erin Hayes and Kelsey Ramage. This year it will be in 35 bars across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, including one bar in Detroit.
This is the 4th annual year for the event. The pop-up bar promises a dark, alluring atmosphere and cocktails that embody the eerie spirit of Halloween. Black Lagoon will be at The Skip in Detroit from Oct. 1 through Nov. 5, 2024.
“We’re thrilled to bring Black Lagoon back for another exciting year,” says Hayes. “Each year, we approach planning with intention, from selecting the bars to designing the decorations and crafting the cocktails, we meticulously consider every detail to ensure that Halloween enthusiasts have an unforgettable experience no matter where they are.”
