Saturday, October 31, 2026, 12:00 AM - 3:00 AM · Shangri-La, East Austin, Austin
Shangri-La joins the 6th Sense Halloween Bar Crawl across East 6th Street, with costumed crowds hitting 6+ bars for themed cocktails and drink specials. Runs Friday and Saturday, October 30-31, 21+ with valid ID.
Rooftop neon sign, horseshoe-shaped bar, free pool, and a sprawling back patio anchored by a food truck keep Shangri-La operating on the same reliable formula it’s always had. Cheap drinks, a dog-friendly crowd, and a steady flow of people who show up in waves and then settle in for the long haul.
