A Halloween-themed cocktail pop-up "where mixology meets the macabre" will creep into the Alamo City this fall as part of a tour hitting 35 cities across the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

Black Lagoon, a concept launched by bar-industry veterans Erin Hayes and Kelsey Ramage, will possess San Antonio's Three Star Bar from Oct. 11 through Oct. 31, bringing along Halloween-themed specialty cocktails, chills and plenty of creepy decor, according to organizers.

Hayes and Ramage conceived Black Lagoon after a successful horror-themed pop-up at The Dungeon, a New Orleans drinkery known for its dark French Quarter vibes. They launched it as a touring event in 2021, organizers said.

Three Star Bar, located at 521 E. Grayson St., was founded in 2021 by San Antonio bar guru Jeret Peña, who previously made a name for himself at Still Golden Social House and Esquire Tavern. Despite Peña's craft-cocktail pedigree, he envisioned the Government Hill spot as an approachable "dad bar" rather than a place to seek out fussy high-end tipples.

Los Angeles-based hospitality group Pouring With Heart, which also owns Idle Brewery at San Antonio's Make Ready Market, purchased Three Star Bar from Peña in fall of 2022.
