The Freddy Krueger-inspired haunt is decorated with everything from skeletons to spiderwebs to blood — the Halloween trifecta. This house of horrors offers custom cocktails like The Krueger and Pumpkin Head if you’re brave enough to try them.

Nightmare on Forbes is raising money for a local organization, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Pittsburgh. BBBSPGH matches volunteers and children from single-parent families or low-income homes for youth mentoring. Previous fundraising pop-ups have included a Jingle Bar around the holidays, and a “Bar of Thrones.”

These pop-up events always draw a big crowd, so if you’re hoping to get your Halloween spirit on minus crowds, consider attending the member-only Pittsburgh Young Professionals (PYP) event, sponsored by Robert Morris University, on Wednesday, October 23. PYP has the space reserved from 5:30-7:30 p.m. with happy hour specials and light bites. 
Nightmare on Forbes is open through November 2.
