š The Haunting on Centre at Cowanās Public | Neighborhood Pub did NOT disappoint! š»
ā¢
Cowans never misses with their annual Christmas takeover, but for the first time ever, theyāre bringing the spooky season to life with a Halloween pop-up running through November 1. And when I say every inch of this place is decorated, I mean EVERY INCH,right down to the bathrooms. šøļøš¦

The seasonal cocktail menu is just as creative as the decor, featuring concoctions like Liquid Lobotomy (pumpkin spice meets piƱa colada), Hex Appeal, Widowās Whisper, Poison Apple, Clown Pear-anoia and the purple Tangled Web martini. Some even come served in delightfully creepy glassware, including doll-head cups. ššø

I went with the spirit-free Spiritless Tomb made with: carrot, orange, habanero, ginger b**r and vegan foam. SO good! For lunch, I had the chicken pot pie, which was absolutely delicious and even stayed on theme with little bats decorating the top. š¦š„§ We love a commitment to the aesthetic.
ā¢
I arrived 10 minutes before opening and there was ALREADY a crowd gathering outside. By the time I left, less than an hour after opening, the bar and surrounding tables were completely full, and the dining room was fully booked.
ā¢
SO MAKE A RESERVATION. Unless standing around waiting for a seat is part of your Halloween thrill-seeking experience.

I love when businesses go all out for the holidays, and Cowans understood the assignment. The attention to detail is incredible, the atmosphere is so much fun, and itās absolutely worth a visit before the haunting ends! š¤
