Boos, brews, and grub galore starting 
October 31st through the weekend!

Brew...err...Boo!

In ATL, restaurants, breweries, and pubs take Halloween very seriously, so from Wild Heaven, to Red Brick, TAP, an 80s Zombie Prom at Cypress, and even the introduction of the world’s first “black tequila” made by Moda on Sunday, here is Part One of what’s poppin’ straight from the sources! Oh, and of course, you have to hit up Netherworld, one of the world's best haunted houses, before they shut down for next season...

Be safe out there!
