Media Night at Nightmare Bar – Toronto
Spooky Season is officially here in Toronto! To usher in this Season of campy thrills and delightful scares, the city welcomed a new Halloween-themed pop-up bar. Starting on October 3rd through November 2nd, 2025, The Nightmare Bar will transform CC Lounge and Whisky Bar into a spooky wonderland full of eerie décor, handcrafted cocktails, and live, spine-chilling entertainment from the friendly onsite “ghosts and ghouls”. Each guest who dares to enter the Nightmare Bar will receive a 90-minute journey through the bar and get to enjoy specialty cocktails and hauntingly delicious food.Praised by many as the “best Halloween bar in the city, loved by thousands of souls every year,” this Halloween-themed pop-up bar was inspired by Tim Burton’s films and classic horror films. The Nightmare Bar runs in select cities across Canada and the U.S., including Vancouver, Edmonton, New York, St. Louis, San Francisco, and Chicago. Fashion Ecstasy was invited to the exclusive media preview of The Nightmare Bar on Thursday, October 2nd, 2025.Did the Nightmare Bar deliver on its promises to scare the heebie-jeebies out of me and the guests? Keep reading to find out.
The Nightmare Behind the Curtain
When I arrived at CC Lounge and Whisky Bar, I was greeted by a life-size version of Sally, the ragdoll and Jack Skellington’s love interest from The Nightmare Before Christmas. She looked great in her costume. After checking me in, she pulled back the black velvet curtain and welcomed me into the party.
The décor was your typical Halloween fare with skeletons chilling on the whiskey barrels, a severed hand resting on an orb, and a large bowl of candy on the bar. There was a pair of animatronic sisters trapped in a cage, cackling and chuckling over a bubbling cauldron, all under the sinister glow of the neon slime-green lighting. The table, designed like a giant chessboard, complete with large chess pieces, looked like it was taken off the set of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.
Wake Me Up When This Nightmare Ends
The organizers promised a night full of live entertainment at The Nightmare Bar. The first part of the entertainment was a trivia game based on Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. The less-than-stellar acoustics made it difficult to hear the emcee announce the trivia questions from the sound booth at the back of the bar. An electronic or paper version of the trivia game prepared ahead of time and distributed to guests upon arrival would have circumvented the audio issues and encouraged more participation and engagement. It would also have been great to get the emcee to introduce themselves and get them to hype the crowd first and foremost.
A fashion show / best costume contest followed the trivia game. Each of the participants took their turn walking up and down the narrow passage from the sound booth to the entrance, and the bride was announced the winner. Congratulations to the bride, who looked beautiful in her blue floral crown and matching floral bouquet. Better acoustics would have greatly improved this game. Additionally, more space for the guests, clear criteria for the winning costume, and the announcement of prizes for the fashion show/costume contest would vastly improve this part of the entertainment.
Final Thoughts
Regrettably, Media Night at The Nightmare Bar fell short of expectations.
The Nightmare Bar, with its unique concept and potential, could have been an exhilarating Halloween event. With better organization, a more spacious venue with improved acoustics, a larger budget, and a more diverse range of activities, this pop-up event could have transformed from a snooze fest into a full-on fright fest. The potential for a more thrilling experience is certainly there, and we hope to see it realized in future events.
