Tampa’s Strandhill Public Brings Spooky Fun with The Haunting Halloween Bar

It’s that time of year again, and Tampa’s Strandhill Public is getting into the Halloween spirit with a new pop-up bar experience, The Haunting. After months of anticipation, this wild Halloween bar is set to open on October 1 and run through November 1, offering a month-long scare-fest with haunted decor and special cocktails.

The Haunting, created by the team behind the popular Miracle holiday bars, is transforming Strandhill Public (309 West Palm Ave) into a haunted fantasy with spooky surprises and exclusive collectibles. Organizer Greg Boehm, Founder and CEO of Miracle, shares his excitement, stating, “The Haunting is the natural next chapter, bringing the same standard of hospitality, storytelling, and collectible traditions to a whole new season.”

Guests can expect over-the-top décor, themed drinks, and even a chance to create their own haunted experiences. New cocktails include Widow’s Whisper, Scream-sicle, Poison Apple, Liquid Lobotomy, and Clown Pear-anoia, with non-alcoholic options available for those who prefer a spirit-free visit.

“Get your costumes ready now,” Boehm encourages, emphasizing the experience’s inspiration from childhood haunted houses, glowing jack-o’-lanterns, vintage decorations, and late-night horror movie marathons. For those interested, reservations can be made directly on the Strandhill Public website.
