Brooklyn Bar Crawl Through Wax and Strange Rooms

Start with anatomical displays and carefully made drinks, pause beside an aquarium for cider, beer, and pub food, then finish with interactive spaces and energetic music. The route suits curious night owls who want conversation and visual surprises.

Start at House of Wax and end at Dead Letter No. 9.

Anatomy, Aquarium, Parlor


A Fourth-Floor Curiosity

Wax heads and anatomy exhibits line a dark, speakeasy-style room on the fourth floor of the Alamo Drafthouse building. You can enter without a movie ticket, then take in the antique collection while drinks are prepared with care. A large selection of draft beers joins the cocktail list at the counter. House of Wax runs daily from 4:00 PM to 11:00 PM, with happy hour specials available. It suits a strange late-October night out.

Fish Tank, Quiet Seating

An oval aquarium sits in the backbar at Sea Witch, giving this Brooklyn tavern its marine centerpiece. The room offers open areas plus tucked-away booths and corners for quieter dates or conversation. Cider and 20 beers on tap share the drinks list, with pub food from the kitchen. Weekday hours run 5:00 PM to 4:00 AM. Saturday and Sunday hours run 12:00 PM to 4:00 AM.
