Catch spooky vibes — and great drinks — at a cavern tavern in Oakland, a tiki-slinging plane wreck in San Francisco and a subterranean speakeasy in San Mateo.
Patrons have a good time as they enjoy drinks at the Last Rites bar in San Francisco, Calif., on Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2023. This trio of atmospheric Bay Area bars ramps up its thrills each fall with skeletons, haunts and plenty of whimsy. Enjoy those spirits — both the cocktail and ghost varieties — while chasing spooky vibes at a cavern tavern in Oakland, a tiki-slinging plane wreck in San Francisco or a subterranean speakeasy in San Mateo.
While Last Rites delivers frights year-round, owner Justin Lew says they kick it up a notch around Halloween with their “Last Ritual” theme. In addition to tropical terrors, the bar will be adorned in late October with even darker decor including burning effigies and witches’ bundles. Let’s count the things that visually assault you stepping into The Avenue. A congregation of scary, fanged clowns. An alien autopsy in a foil-lined operating room. Hannibal Lecter staring out from a cell, and a roach-infested hoarder’s hovel with the graffiti, “I can hear them in the walls.”For almost a decade, Curtis and Tana Howard have gone all-out – to increasingly ridiculous degrees – to transform Oakland’s premier rocker bar into a gory Halloween jamboree.
“I did once buy a scent for our smoke machine, and that went a little bit south,” says Curtis. “It was a zombie scent, and it just smelled just like dead rat.”Then there are the Halloween-themed events. This year, the bar is staging “31 Days of Horror” with a different horror movie playing every night of October. There’s also a photo booth that’s super-popular with people in costumes and, on Halloween itself, a costume contest where folks bring their ghoulish A-games to win cash prizes.
