Whether you want to pre-game before heading out to your big Halloween party or just looking to try some seasonal specialty cocktails, you're in luck! Check out what some local bars, clubs and restaurants are offering this year.
Stop by the chocolate lounge on Saturday, October 29th and enjoy carved pumpkin and chocolate displays and sip on special Trick or Treat 'Tinis.
The neighborhood hangout will be transformed in to a haunted lounge with ominous lighting and candles, wicked fog and smoke and a menacing black witch's cauldron on a fire pit.

Stop in Sunday for brunch (7 a.m.-2:30 p.m.) and get a complimentary Mimosa or Bloody Mary if you're wearing a costume. The restaurant will also have special pumpkin prix-fixe dinner menus Saturday through Monday nights.
