The Black Lagoon Halloween Cocktail Pop-Up Is Open on Melrose Through November 1
Melrose Umbrella Co hosts the touring witch's apothecary pop-up, one of 34 cities across the US and Canada this October, with no ticketed entry.
The Black Lagoon has surfaced on Melrose Avenue. Through Sunday, November 1, 2026, Melrose Umbrella Co is hosting the touring Halloween cocktail pop-up, which describes itself as a darkly lit witch's apothecary surrounded by coffins and gravestones, with cocktails created by award-winning bartenders Kelsey Ramage and Erin Hayes. Los Angeles is one of 34 cities across the US and Canada on the 2026 tour.
The pop-up's new character this year is Abyssa the Octo-Witch, who appears on a 21-ounce ceramic mug produced by Tiki Farm ($45) in the pop-up's online shop. The host bar brings its own atmosphere: an 1890s fireplace, a subway-tile ceiling and a 1920s apothecary cabinet as the back bar. There is no ticketed entry; guests order from the menu, and tables can be reserved through Resy.
Costumes are optional, and the pop-up notes that many guests dress up, especially around Halloween.
