Halloween Pop-Up Bar Comes To Cape May

CAPE MAY, NJ — Enjoy some boos and some booze at Cape May's first-ever Halloween pop-up bar - Harry's Bar and Grille has transformed into Harry's Boo Bar for a hauntingly good time through Oct. 31.

The bar is transformed into a haunted pirate's den for the month, with everything from an actual pirate ship on the outside (in partnership with Cape May Beach Patrol) to a haunted cast of characters inside, decorations and a ghoulish themed menu.

"Following the runaway success of Harry's Jingle Bar (Christmas Pop-up) in 2023, we are back with Cape May's first-ever Halloween themed bar," said Madison Resorts Owner Dan Alicea. "Our team had so much fun with Jingle Bar and the reaction from the community was so amazing, we immediately said we wanted to present a Halloween twist on the idea."

The entire design and production was done with in-house talent - who recently also designed the critically acclaimed sister property Madison Resort Wildwood Crest.

For a charity tie-in, Harry's Boo Bar has teamed up with the Cape May Beach Patrol, who donated one of their wooden beach boats for the haunted pirate ship display. Harry's Boo Bar will collect donations for the Patrol's Cannone Scholarship Fund. When customers donate to the fund, Harry's will say thanks with tickets to win great prizes - and Madison Resorts will match all donations made. The winning tickets will be pulled at the Halloween Party, on Oct. 26.

You can enjoy specialty drinks like Davy Jones Juice, a "smoky blue concoction" with dry ice, Cape May Blood Moon, a vodka drink with Absolut, Cointreau and pomegranate juice or Blackbeard's Rum Blood Bag, served in an IV bag.

Seasonal fall dishes are served up, like butternut ravioli or chicken pot pie, plus some spookier options like cannon ball tots or bloody BBQ sliders.

Harry's Boo Bar is located at 1025 Beach Ave., Cape May.
