Created by industry veterans Kelsey Ramage and Erin Hayes, Black Lagoon launched in Toronto in October 2021.

“Black Lagoon quickly gained a devoted following of cocktail and Halloween enthusiasts, solidifying its place as an annual staple for Halloween celebrations,” shares organizers.

It has established itself as one of the best bar pop-ups, so much so that it was actually named “Canada’s Best Pop-Up Bar” by Canada’s 100 Best in 2022.

Although it’s still summer, don’t forget to mark your calendars cause this is an experience you don’t want to miss.
