🦁 THE LION PRESENTS: “FRIGHT NIGHT” 🕯️
Bexley’s Most Terrifyingly Elegant Halloween Affair

When the moon rises over Main Street and the shadows creep through the old brick walls, The Lion opens its doors for one night only to the undead, the bewitched, and the brave.

Step inside the dimly lit den — where blood-red cocktails flow, candles flicker against claw-marked mirrors, and a haunting melody drifts through the air. The bartenders, masked in ghostly white, will serve elixirs that glow like moonlight… if you dare to taste them.

📅 Date: Friday, October 31st
🕯️ Start Time: 7:00 PM
📍 Location: The Lion, 2511 E Main Street, Bexley, Ohio
👻 Dress Code: Ghoulish, Haunting, or Monstrous

Tickets: $0 entry for “Pay as you go” | $25 for Special Entry | $125 for open bar
🎃 Highlights:

  • Devilishly crafted cocktails - 2 Free Cocktails, Beers, or Wines per ticket (add "Open Bar" status at checkout)

  • Costume contest with chilling prizes - Entry included for your chance to win

  • Sinister soundtrack and late-night surprises

  • Fun games for the ghouls

  • Light Bites (don't eat the humans)

Enter if you dare — but beware:
Once the Lion roars, the doors may never open again…
