WHAT: Now through Halloween, Headquarters Beercade will transform into a world of Stranger Things. The venue will have immersive photo ops, and Instagram worthy moments, as well as delicious specialty cocktails.

Immerse yourself into the world of Hawkins with interactive installations like an exact replica of the Byers living room with the iconic alphabet wall and flickering lights. The entire mezzanine of the restaurant has been transformed into the Upside Down, with an eerie glow of haunting blue lights, cascading branches and leaves, a rotting pumpkin patch, and a cocooned Will Byers–all under the watchful eye of the infamous Demagorgon and more.

A few examples of the themed cocktails you can expect are: Eleven –  This powerful cocktail combines peach-infused bourbon maple syrup, lemon and mint. A garnish of mini Eggo waffles will have you believing in your own telepathic abilities. The Mind Flayer – House-made apple cinnamon Jameson, cranberry juice, and apple cider blend together in the most refreshing fall cocktail that will turn your world, well, upside down…
