Who doesn’t love to dress up and sip a few themed cocktails? Silly question, we know. If your biggest fear this Halloween is FOMO over which festive scarefest to attend, we’ve rounded up the best events to hit so you don’t miss a scream.
Beerhaüs | Bowen Hills
Beerhaüs is turning the scary up a notch this year and transforming into a haunted house on Thursday, 31 October. Kick off the scariest weekend of the year with apple bobbing, lucky door prizes, plenty of rum punch and, of course, a best dressed competition which will see the best character win a 1-litre bottle of Kraken rum – now that’s a scary thought!
Halloween Party | El Camino Cantina | Bowen Hills
El Camino Cantina is bringing double the spooky with two parties over one huge weekend – ay caramba! Kick the weekend off on Thursday 31 October with their Halloween party where you can gorge on a ghoulishly good fiesta feast with a selection of wings, fajitas, nachos, churros and two-hours of margaritas, wine, beer or soft drinks for only $79pp (with bonus lolly bag if you book online). To keep the party hopping you can slurp on El Camino’s margarita of the month at a special price, practice your backhand and have a smash at the giant Halloween piñata, play lucky dip but with shot glasses and make sure you dress to scare with the best costume winning a $50 restaurant voucher.
Day of the Dead | El Camino Cantina | Bowen Hills
The party continues on 2 November with the official Day of the Dead celebration! Pay homage to the spirits with their fiesta feast still available, visit the face painter to transform into the traditional sugar skull, enjoy an XO Patrón Café shot and why not enter the chilli eating competition? Be one of the first to eat five chillies and you’ll win a $50 bar voucher! Now that’s a way to scare the spirits.
Brisbane Fright Market | Brisbane Night Market | Rocklea
Where can you find a trick or treating trail, a haunted house, cocktails, tasty fare and live music? Brisbane Fright Market of course!

A Netherworld Halloween | Netherworld | Fortitude Valley
This is one party you don’t want to ghost, people! Brisbane’s favourite arcade bar is making October 31sta total creeper with live music, devilishly tasty drinks and eats provided by the aptly named Hellmouth Diner. Plus, come dressed up and you’ll get five free gaming tokens and a Halloween enamel pin designed by Schlock Lobster! Come for a few games, stay for the boogie and drinks because she’s going to be frightfully fun.
Day of the Dead | Riverland | Eagle Street Pier
Keeping the spooks going, get ready to celebrate some ghosts with Day of the Dead at Riverland Brisbane. It wouldn’t be a party without margaritas, piñatas, tasty street food and some cheeky face painting for the little terrors so pull up a coffin all Saturday long on 2 November.
Semi-Pro Halloween Party | Semi-Pro Brewing Co. | East Brisbane
Festive Halloween brews? Where have you been all our lives?! Semi-Pro Brewing have boiled up in their beer cauldrons a Pumpkin Spice Brown Ale that needs to be tried to be believed. Paired with fare from Notorious E.A.T and you’re onto a freakishly good Thursday afternoon.
Trick or Treat | Little Stanley Street | South Bank
Friday 25 and Saturday 26 October from 5pm to 8pm will see Little Stanley Street transform into a spooktacular Halloween celebration! Expect scary surprises and trick or treat hotspots so make sure to bring a bucket to carry home some treats. Following the trail, stumble into the pumpkin patch for the perfect Insta pic, or for a gold coin donation you can take one home with all proceeds going to the Queensland Children’s Hospital. Staff at all of the fabulous restaurants will be donning their scariest costumes so make sure to pop by for a post-party bite.
We don’t mean to scare you but this is going to be one big weekend!
