Black Lagoon returns to The Parlour in Chicago for Halloween season
Black Lagoon will open daily Oct. 1-31, 2026 at The Parlour at The Albion Manor in Chicago, marking the pop-up’s third straight year in the city. The immersive Halloween cocktail bar adds themed drinks, custom glassware and special events, including a burlesque show, for guests 21 and over.
Why it matters: - Black Lagoon is one of North America’s recurring Halloween cocktail pop-ups, and Chicago is getting the experience exclusively for a third straight year. - The monthlong run gives The Albion Manor a seasonal draw during October, with themed programming aimed at adults 21 and over.
What happened: - Black Lagoon returns to The Parlour on the second floor of The Albion Manor in Chicago from Oct. 1 through Oct. 31, 2026. - The pop-up opens at 5 p.m. daily. - Chicago is the only city where Black Lagoon will appear at this venue during the 2026 Halloween season. - The experience is available only at The Parlour at The Albion Manor, with stairs required to reach the space.
The details: - The Parlour will be fully decorated for Halloween. - Cocktails will be served in custom glassware created and branded by Black Lagoon. - The 2026 menu includes ABYSSA’S OBSESSION, DEMON DANCE, FINAL GIRL, BONE TEMPLE, BLOOD DAWN and MOON SHADOW. - Non-alcoholic options include BAD OMEN, WIDOW’S WAKE and SCREAM QUEEN. - The bar will also offer a few shooters and old favorites. - Special events will include a Halloween burlesque show and other spooky-season programming. - More information is available at TheAlbionManor.com. - Media images are available through this Dropbox folder.
Between the lines: - The return signals steady demand for immersive, Halloween-themed hospitality experiences. - The venue’s limited access and one-month run help position the pop-up as a destination event rather than a standard bar menu rollout. - Black Lagoon’s broader footprint spans 34 bars across the U.S. and Canada this season, but Chicago remains tied to one location.
What's next: - Black Lagoon will run through Halloween night on Oct. 31, 2026. - The Albion Manor says menu updates, hours and events will be posted on its website and social channels. - Black Lagoon’s creators, Erin Hayes and Kelsey Ramage, continue expanding the brand with seasonal spin-offs beyond October.
The bottom line: - Chicago’s Halloween cocktail scene gets a familiar annual anchor, with Black Lagoon returning as a limited-run, immersive bar experience only at The Parlour.
