“We simply love Halloween and the community of people who embrace getting dressed up in costumes and cosplay,” the bar’s ownership team, Bar None Creations, said. “We wanted to create a place that could be a spot that those who love Halloween and cosplay as much as us could enjoy together all year long! We personally enjoy attending cons and love the feeling you get when you are there of community. We wanted to build that feel and theme into our bar.”
