This spooky Halloween-themed pop-up just opened at Pearlridge Center.
Nightmare Honolulu is located at Pearlridge Center, in the former space of Chili’s Grill and Bar. The seasonal pop-up is open from 6 p.m. to midnight from now to Oct. 31. Attendees must be 21 years and older to enter.
The pop-up features a serial killer slasher vibe. The different sections of the pop-up have different decorations.
For example, when you enter, you’ll immediately notice the clown theme.
The booths are splattered in “blood” and the tapes around the pop-up are supposed to be records of those who were killed. The tree air fresheners are supposed to “mask” the smell of the deceased.
There’s a wall featuring a doll display in the back of the space. Also, depending on where you’re seated in the pop-up, you can spot some of the hanging appendages slowly rotating.
There will be a DJ starting at 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. We’re told some of the tables will be moved out so there’s more room to dance on nights where there’s a DJ.
Attendees can look forward to a variety of Halloween-themed drinks. Choose from options like blood bath ($15) — Roku gin, pineapple, orange and bitters — blood bag ($25) with Tito’s, lime, pineapple and fruit punch, and blood punch cooler ($45). The latter is designed to share and consists of passion fruit, orange and guava puree with Kōloa Kauaʻi white rum.
There are even syringe shots ($12) with cotton candy and Hawaiian Punch with a choice of Tito’s, Jameson or Espolon Blanco.
Reservations can be made for large groups, and there’s even a VIP area for friends and family of the staff (no reservations can be made for the VIP area).
