The Haunted Taproom Halloween Bash

I’ve been a fan of Craft Beer Market at Lansdowne Park for a while now. When it comes to finding a spot in Ottawa that nails the combo of a great atmosphere and truly delicious food and drinks, they are always at the top of my list. The sheer size of the place, the beautiful setting, and the friendly buzz of the crowd make it a reliable favorite for a casual evening out. But this week, they’re transforming that reliable favorite into something wonderfully wicked: the Haunted Taproom Halloween Bash!

The idea of taking that already-electric energy and adding a DJ, a costume contest, and a massive dance floor has me absolutely thrilled. If you’re like me and looking for the perfect place to let loose this Friday night and head straight for the party where the music is loud and the costumes are mandatory. It sounds like the kind of night where you walk in ready for a beer and leave having danced away all your stress.

About Craft Beer Market

Located right in the bustling Lansdowne Park at 975 Bank Street, Craft Beer Market isn’t just a bar; it’s a destination. It’s known across the city for its commitment to real craft beer, offering one of the largest selections of local and international brews on tap anywhere.

The Ottawa location, nestled in the heart of the Glebe’s action, is the perfect backdrop for major events. They’re dedicated to bringing the community together, whether it’s for a relaxed Sunday brunch or, in this case, a massive, frighteningly fun Halloween event. While they are a premier spot for food and drink year-round, the Haunted Taproom Halloween Bash proves they know how to throw an epic seasonal party that leverages their incredible space.

The Experience

The standard experience at Craft is defined by variety and vibrancy—you can always find something new to sip and the rooms are always filled with laughter. Knowing this, the Haunted Taproom Halloween Bash promises to turn the volume up to 11.

Imagine walking into the massive, open venue, which I can only expect will be transformed with spooky decor and mood lighting. The promise of a live DJ means the atmosphere will be infectious from the moment the doors open. Forget awkward standing—this is an event designed to move. There’s also the classic costume contest to look forward to, which means the creativity of Ottawa’s residents will be on full display (and let’s be honest, who doesn’t love to scope out the competition!). If my past experiences at Craft are anything to go by, this will be a high-energy, friendly, and memorable way to celebrate Halloweekend.
