MIDNIGHT APOTHECARY HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR

Got a penchant for pumpkins? Taken to travelling by broomstick? Well get amongst the cobwebs for it's that time of year again..... the Midnight Apothecary's legendary HALLOWEEN SPOOKTACULAR happens across two nights this October! Expect the usual sea of incredibly carved pumpkin lanterns, firepits to hire, s'mores kits toasted marshmallows between deluxe chocolate biscuits for the uninitiated and sparklers for sale; batty bar staff, strange blue fire we have special powers....and the best Halloween potions in London....'Out of this Gourd', 'The Bloody Sloe', the 'Spooky Whisky Sour' and strong favourite 'Bonfire of the Vani-Teas'.  And we will of course have our signature deluxe Hot Rum and Whisky Toddies on the menu too! Tickets include an optional guided descent into Brunel's huge and very spooky underground chamber.  We dare you! 

For those not familiar with us, we have been voted one of London's best outdoor pop-up cocktail bars since we built the Roof Garden at the Brunel Museum in 2012, and we specialise in lovingly prepared seasonal botanical cocktails round a campfire made by Midnight Apothecary founder Lottie Muir AKA the Cocktail Gardener. We infuse and garnish our drinks using ingredients grown in our rooftop garden or foraged close by, with the menu changing frequently based on what's growing in the garden. These are all served in our atmospheric setting right next to the Thames in the heart of Rotherhithe Village. We are the best kept secret around here being nestled on top of the Thames Tunnel Shaft which was itself built in the Victorian era by Marc Brunel. The garden is lovingly maintained and is adorned with giant flares, hurricane lamps and fairy lights. 

We source all our alcohol and sodas carefully using local brews and spirits where possible eg Bermondsey's Hiver Honey Beer, Anspach & Hobday, the Kernel Brewery and Jensen's gin, as well as Hackney's Square Root Soda.  Our wine is vegan, as is Kernel Brewery beer, and we have plenty of non-alcoholic mocktails for you. All spirits are premium brands. Our menu features a range of cocktails that change with the season, among which you can expect, for example, our take on the classic Mojito with house-made hibiscus and blackberry & mint syrup, alongside Lottie's crowd-pleasing 'Smoky Negroni' made with Jensen's Bermondsey Dry gin, Campari, sweet vermouth, scented geranium & pinewood-smoked lapsang souchong tea, and, our signature 'Midnight Margarita', with activated charcoal, premium tequila and a lime foam. 

Choose between either the early sitting 5pm-7.15pm or the late sitting 7.30pm-10pm. Roof Garden tickets are bought individually per guest and include an optional Guided Descent down into the Tunnel Shaft led by local legend & actor, Tim Thomas. Ticket money goes directly to registered charity the Brunel Museum. 

We will have a centralised firepit up in the Roof Garden plus as many individual firepits to hire as safety will allow first come, first served with s'mores kits available to purchase via the menu on the night.

We will have sizzling hot streetfood available to purchase down on the Terrace.

Please note only drinks bought from Midnight Apothecary may be consumed on the premises. We are an outdoor venue so there is no rain cover but bring a brolly if it looks like light showers as we fully embrace the Friluftsliv!

A perfect mates' night out or date for two. We look forward to welcoming you!
