The Upside Down Bar Halloween Pop-up at Bode at Sidebar – Nashville, TN

The portal is open. This fall, Sidebar transforms into Hawkins, Indiana – a world of mixtapes, neon nights, and the lurking shadows of the Upside Down.

Step inside and you’ll find a bar caught between two dimensions: one draped in retro 80s nostalgia, the other tangled in eerie vines and flickering lights. The soundtrack hums with familiar synths, the walls whisper with static, and every corner feels like you’ve stumbled into another chapter of the story.

Our bartenders are serving cocktails that channel both realms – sweet and strange, smoky and supernatural. From lab-inspired experiments to Scoops-style sips, each drink is a nod to the world where friendships, secrets, and the unknown collide.

Grab your crew, come as you are (or in Hawkins-inspired gear), and get ready for a month-long pop-up where the ordinary rules don’t apply. The Upside Down Bar is waiting – and nothing will ever be the same.

Secure your ticket for guaranteed entry and a welcome shot—just show your ticket to the bartender to redeem.
