The Spookeasy at Holston House
Holston House’s annual fall pop-up, The Spookeasy, returned and is available through October 31, transforming the hotel’s Bar TENN into a haunted hideaway just steps from Broadway. The immersive experience features haunting decor, spooky sips, and cursed bites throughout the season.
The Spookeasy’s 2026 menu includes dishes like Witch Brew Queso, a bubbling cauldron of molten cheese with smoky chorizo, fire-roasted poblano and charred corn served with eerie blue corn tortilla chips; Bloody Fingers, freshly fried cinnamon sugar churro fingers with dark cherry “blood” ganache and warm dulce de leche; and the Blood Moon Burger, featuring two smashed beef patties, smoked provolone, caramelized onions, black garlic aioli, arugula and roasted tomato “blood” jam, served with graveyard truffle fries, among many more bone-chilling dishes to choose from.
There will be a special live pumpkin-carving demonstration by Master Carver Lundy Cupp on Saturday, October 24. The Spookeasy will be open daily from 3 p.m. to midnight.
