The Haunting on Russell Street is bringing spooky cocktails, creepy interiors, and immersive Halloween vibes to London’s Covent Garden.
Halloween is almost here, and London is getting a brand-new Halloween cocktail bar. The Haunting on Russell Street is taking over Covent Garden this October, bringing spooky cocktails, creepy interiors and plenty of Halloween atmosphere to London.
Taking over 9 Russell Street from 1 October to 1 November 2026, the pop-up will transform the former RedFarm space into an immersive Halloween drinking den. Expect flickering lights, candlelight, cobwebs, old wax and cocktails that look rather questionable.
The Halloween pop-up comes from the team behind Miracle at Henrietta, the famously extravagant Christmas cocktail bar. Every year, the team turns its Covent Garden venue into a spectacular wonderland. This year, though, they’re getting started a little earlier. Instead of waiting for the Christmas season, the team is going all out for Halloween first. So, if their festive transformation is anything to go by, The Haunting on Russell Street should be going all in on the Halloween theme.
The two-floor venue will be completely transformed rather than simply decorated with pumpkins. Guests can expect flickering lights, strange sounds, whispers, static, and even eerie noises. The bartenders, too, will be dressed as creepy characters who look like they have wandered straight out of a horror film.
The Halloween cocktails are just as unusual. The menu includes Widow’s Whisper, Clown Pear-anoia, What Lies Beneath, and much more. Drinks will be served in spooky glassware, including skulls, ravens, and other mysterious shapes. Guests can also order themed canapés and food alongside their cocktails.
So if you’re looking for something different to do this Halloween in London, The Haunting on Russell Street in Covent Garden could be worth adding to your plans. With only one month to experience the pop-up, those hoping to visit may want to book early.
