Flying Fox Tavern hosts Mid-Evil Times, an armored combat event running from noon to 7pm on Saturday. Watch full-contact medieval buhurt fighting live at the bar.
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
