Yours Truly’s “Dead Letter Office” Halloween pop-up will run from Oct. 8 to 31. The cocktail bar at the AC Hotel by Marriott Honolulu is featuring specialty Halloween cocktails and themed dishes for the first time in its speakeasy space.
To enter the speakeasy — which can fit 16 to 20 individuals — look for the mailboxes within Yours Truly.
The themed drinks include phantom ink ($18), moonlit martini ($18) — which features a shimmering presentation — autumn after dark ($20), and blood transfusion ($18). Individuals can get the cocktails “delivered” using the speakeasy’s signature mailbox system (with the exception of the blood transfusion drink, which is too tall to fit in the mailbox).
Customers can also get “shots” ($16) like specimen B-6006 and specimen B-1111; the shots feature bourbon and gin, respectively.
Specialty Halloween dishes feature sweet and savory options, according to executive chef Chris Murakami.
“We’re still doing what we’re doing, but just trying to have fun and make it very festive,” he says.
Halloween-themed dishes include hurricane fries, which are presented in a coffin ($16); charcoal-infused deviled eggs with truffle oil and salmon roe ($14); smoked ‘ahi dip served in a cauldron ($16); and desserts like pumpkin basque cheesecake ($14) and chocolate skulls ($14), which are chocolate truffles, according to Murakami.
While these dishes are popular options at AC Hotel’s The Dotted Line, the Halloween versions are only available at Yours Truly. Hurricane fries are topped with spicy mayo, unagi sauce, green onions and furikake, while the smoked ‘ahi dip is served with housemade sweet potato chips.
The Halloween speakeasy will be open Wednesdays to Sundays; reservations are now accepted via OpenTable.
