For the month of October, South End tropical hideaway and sushi spot Shore Leave transforms into Scare Leave, a month-long Halloween popup featuring hundreds of Halloween decorations. Featuring seasonal cocktails served black glasses, all drinks will include a Halloween twist. Expect flavors like pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, coconut and passionfruit; large format cocktails will be served in trick or treat pails.
Inside, Shore Leave has been transformed into a spooky speakeasy. “The Spider Cave” is a featured section of the restaurant covered in hordes of spiders, spiderwebs, and lights. Head over to the bar for “The Bat Cave”, with swarms of bats hanging from the seating. If those aren’t for you, MarGHOULritaville might be – with several skeletons wasting away in the back section of the bar on an eternal vacation.
