The Haunt

Stepping into The Haunt is like slipping into a beloved neighborhood hideaway where the familiar hum of friendly chatter meets a uniquely macabre vibe. Nestled quietly on Alaska Avenue, this bar feels intentionally lived-in and unpretentious, inviting guests to slow down and settle into its dimly lit, Halloween-inspired world. The mood here is laid-back yet charged with a subtle thrill—an atmosphere that easily turns a casual evening into something memorable.

The pace is unhurried, perfect for lingering over a cold beer or challenging a friend to a game of pool under muted, vintage lighting. Whether you find yourself drawn to the covered outdoor patio or the cozy interior filled with quirky horror memorabilia, The Haunt cultivates a sense of comfort mixed with a touch of the eerie—an unexpected warmth borne from passion for the strange and a shared appreciation for community.

More than just a themed bar, this is a place where bartender stories flow as naturally as the drinks, and every visitor seems to quickly become part of the extended neighborhood. The menu isn’t the focus here; instead, it’s the experience of connecting with the spirit of the place, the subtle art of a well-crafted drink, and the quiet joy of unwinding with others under the watchful presence of Halloween’s ghostly charm.

Whether you’re stopping by to enjoy some fresh air out back, testing your skills at the pool table, or simply soaking in the moody ambiance with new and old friends, The Haunt offers a unique nook in St. Louis where the ordinary feels a little more enchanted and every visit carries the promise of a human moment worth savoring.
