Halloween pop-up Nightmare on Orange is creeping its way back into the Orlando area this fall.
Winter Park bar the Courtesy Bar invites its guests to soak up festive decor, a spooky atmosphere and themed signature cocktails in this seasonal tradition.
This year’s terrifying takeover runs Sept. 22 through Nov. 1 and operates within normal business hours — but starting Monday, Sept. 28, the Courtesy will be open on Mondays through the end of the year.
Reservations are heavily recommended for this very-in-demand event. Walk-ins are welcome as well, if you’re brave enough.
Reservations (and you’ll want to make them) open in three waves:
- Reservation spots release 9/8 at noon for: Sept 22 to Oct. 6
- Reservation spots release 9/22 at noon for: Oct. 7 to Oct. 21
- Reservation spots release 10/6 at noon for: Oct. 22 to Nov. 1
Happy trick-or-drinking!
If you’re creeping about town on a whim, here’s the Courtesy’s pro tips for getting in:
- If you don’t have a reservation, we suggest getting here early for a better chance of getting in or getting on the waitlist.
- All guests will have 2 hours to experience Nightmare on Orange with us
- Always check back in on reservations as we allow cancellations day of
- Parties of more than 4 are challenging to seat as a walk- in, so we suggest coming with a smaller group or waiting until you have a reservation.
- If we are on a wait you can put your name on our waitlist and we will text you when your table is available. When your table is ready, you have 5 minutes to respond before we give your spot up to the next guests, so stay close and enjoy our outdoor green space. The entire party must be present when we seat you so make sure your friends don’t turn into ghouls.
- Fridays & Saturdays we will have an outdoor mobile bar to enjoy cocktails outside while you wait.
