A Halloween-themed cocktail bar lurks in the Grand America Hotel

What's happening: The wood-paneled lounge is decked out like a ghostly gothic manor and is serving a specialty menu 4pm to midnight daily until Oct. 31.

Details: Fall flavors get the spotlight on the six-drink list.

• The Zombie ($17) returns to its roots with a recipe that closely matches Don the Beachcomber's 1930s cinnamon-and-anise-infused tiki classic.
• The Gravedigger ($16) mixes spiced cider and ginger beer with a tequila-charcoal concoction.
• On the sunnier side: the Vampire's Kiss ($19) — think gin fizz, plus aviation — and Black Dahlia ($17) chartreuse and vodka with citrus.
