Flying Fox Tavern runs its 2nd Annual Costume Contest all October, with two free well drinks or draft beers for anyone who dresses up and buys an equal-value drink. Must be 21+ and non-transferable.
Dim lights, neon bats overhead, coffin-print wallpaper, and vintage monster posters make this Ridgewood tavern feel like a horror movie set that serves burgers instead of screams. The menu swings from fried artichokes to fish sandwiches to vegan comfort food, while the bar turns out vampire-themed cocktails (and mocktails that are just as fun). It’s more cozy than creepy, with staff who crack jokes instead of playing it spooky, making it the rare goth-leaning bar that feels genuinely welcoming.

Horror-themed cocktail. Dark spirits, bitters and an absinthe rinse
