Cape May, NJ – Ahoy mates! This October, Harry’s Bar and Grille in Cape May is unleashing the spirits with the return of Harry’s BOO BAR, Cape May’s very first Halloween-themed pop-up experience! From October 3 to November 1, 2025, Harry’s at Montreal Beach Resort is transforming into a haunted pirate’s den for its second annual Halloween pop-up experience. Step into a thrilling world of pirate decor, eerie lighting and haunted surprises wherever you turn. The dining room will transport you to a place you’ve only seen in your Halloween dreams (or maybe your nightmares). Sip on spooky signature drinks that are as fun to admire as they are to consume. With a menu full of frightfully delicious food and cocktails, this is the Halloween hangout you won’t want to miss! Grab your mates and chart a course for BOO BAR, if you dare! Look for live music, DJ and karaoke to alternate on Fridays during October, and come out for live music with the Philly Keys every Saturday. Harry’s is located at 1025 Beach Ave, Cape May. Hours are Wednesday Noon to 9:00pm, Thursday Noon to 9:00pm, Friday Noon to 10:00pm, Saturday 8:00am to 11:00pm and Sunday 8:00am to 9:00pm.

Pair Harry’s Boo Bar with fall events at Harry’s and the Montreal Beach Resort, including the Exit Zero Jazz Festival at Harry’s, Cape May Restaurant Week, Harry’s Second Annual Stein Hoisting Contest, Skrewball Whiskey Tasting Experience: Cocktails and Lite Bites, Fall Girlfriends Weekend, and more.
“Following the runaway success of Harry’s Boo Bar in 2024, we are back with Cape May’s original Halloween themed bar,” said Madison Resorts Owner Dan Alicea. “Each and every year, our hospitality team has so much fun creating this detailed and unique experiences for guests and visitors. They started planning this year’s Boo Bar and Jingle Bar (for the holidays) in January – and we can’t wait to welcome our first guests for spooky season. While Cape May is known as one of the best destinations on the East Coast and in America for summer, there’s nothing quite like Halloween and the Holidays in Cape May with all the decorations, fall weather, leaves changing, community spirit, small-town feel and themed events.”
Aliciea added, “Over the last few years we’ve seen a pretty dramatic increase in visitor traffic between Labor Day and Memorial Day. It’s a great time of year to be at the shore and I think a lot of people are starting to realize that. Hotel rates are generally a little bit lower, there’s much less traffic and crowds and the weather has still been really good for a few months into the fall. With this new increase in traffic our properties and other hospitality businesses at the shore have been adding programming around popular holidays like Halloween in the fall, Christmas in the Winter and St Patrick’s Day in the Spring. This has been great for not only Madison Resorts but the communities that our properties operate in as a whole.”
Following the sold-out success of Harry’s Boo Bar and Jingle Bar Christmas Pop-up in 2024 that drew lines down the street, Harry’s returns with the shore’s original and first official Halloween themed pop-up bar – complete with a spooky season make-over of the entire bar and restaurant with bone-chilling vibes with a nautical shore-twist. The entire design and production was done with in-house talent – who recently also designed the critically acclaimed sister property Madison Resort Wildwood Crest.
To complement the ghostly decor, the BOO BAR features a ghoulish cocktail menu designed to thrill! Savor a smoking Davy Jones Juice, brave Blackbeard’s Rum served in an IV blood bag, or take a sip of the devilishly delightful Blackbeard’s Bucket of Blood. For those feeling extra wicked, try the Boo Bar Expresso or our signature Headless Horseman.
