Haunted
Austin.
All Halloween week, through Saturday 31 October. Pick your night. Dinner in a storied venue, a show or a ghost walk, a last drink worth staying for, and, if you like, a room at the Driskill.
No wristband. Your phone is the stamp.
The night, stop by stop
Four stops. Three are your pick.
Dinner in a storied venue.
Your pickSix venues with a history, the Bertram Building among them. Pick the story you want to sit in.
A show or a haunted walk.
Your pickComedy on Sixth, or a ninety-minute walk through the stories downtown. Or both, if you start early. Not every pick is open every night; check each venue before you go.
A last drink, somewhere worth staying.
Your pickOne of six cocktail bars downtown. If the bar pours a Halloween drink, it's theirs, and everyone in the venue can order it.
The Driskill.
OptionalSince 1886, at Sixth and Brazos. Book a room on the hotel's site, or Lyft home. Your call. Skipping it never counts as a miss.

Get around.
Walk, ride or park: rides and parking open in another app.
Dress for it if you like. It's a night you can dress for, not a rule.
The venues, and their stories
Old buildings. Good stories.
The Clay Pit sits in the Bertram Building, which the restaurant calls "170 years old" and "a storied stop on Austin's haunted tours." It began as a general store, then a saloon.
The Driskill has stood on Sixth and Brazos since 1886. The city's ghost-tour operators tell its stories; the hotel itself tells its history.
The Tavern has stood at Twelfth and Lamar since 1916 and tells its own ghost story. Moonshine sits in the 1880s Waterloo settlement, and the downtown ghost walk leaves from its door.
Scholz Garten has poured since 1866: no ghost, only the oldest beer garden in the state. The Capital Grille's building is over a century old; the Driskill Grill is the hotel's own dining room.
