Macabre Manor is back!

Macabre Manor, the sinister cocktail experience we reviewed last Halloween, is open and ready to indulge your love of spirits, both ethereal and intoxicating. Located inside The Set, a speakeasy tucked inside Montclair’s That 80s Bar, Macabre Manor is a 100-minute immersive event, which places visitors inside a spooky speakeasy, with themed cocktails and decorations. Besides soaking up the atmosphere and imbibing drinks, you can interact with roaming characters eager to engage in conversation or even give a performance on the small stage. This Halloween, Macabre Manor promises new cocktails and treats, with names like “Fresh Scabs” and “Bat Guano.”

We highly recommend Macabre Manor. It is good value for the money, and its nearly three-month-long schedule provides ample opportunity to visit both before and after the Halloween gets hot and heavy with haunted houses and other attractions that might make it difficult to set aside a couple hours to sit down and enjoy creepy cocktails inside a haunted bar.

Macabre Manor operates on Fridays and Saturdays from September 6 through November 23. Start times are 6pm, 8pm, and 10pm. Tickets are $15 per person; plus there is a two-drink minimum. That 80s Bar is located at 10555 S. Mills Avenue in Montclair. Admission is restricted to ages 21 and up. Get more information at ExperienceTheSet.com.
