Tim Burton-Inspired Pop-Up Opens Friday In Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA — A new Tim Burton-inspired pop-up restaurant is opening in Philadelphia Friday.

Craftsman Row Saloon Friday will debut its "Nightmare Before Christmas" theme.

Guests will find inspiration and references to Jack Skellington, Sally and the Boogie Man, but also nods to the hit movie "Beetlejuice" and Netflix series "Wednesday."

The space will be decorated with 2,000-plus Halloween lights, hundreds of skulls and bones, 500 feet of cobwebs, 50 more floating ghouls, and nods to your favorite Halloween and spooky characters.

Booths are even adorned in "Beetlejuice" fashion, and several skeleton walls and spooky candles frame the space.

On the Halloween menu of food additions look for pumpkin mac 'n' cheese, witches fingers, Jack-O’-Lantern Guacamole and Chips, Jack's Baked Mac and Cheese, Sally's Quesadillas, Mummy Stromboli, Vampire Burger and more.

From the bar, look for a special menu of potions and cocktails including a Blood Bag, Charman Marg, Pumpkin King Marg, Pinata Full of Spiders Mojito, Skellington Sangria, and a special drink paying nod to "Beetlejuice" himself.

The pop-up will run through Oct. 31.

Reservations are now available on Opentable.

Hours are 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. Wednesdays through Friday, noon to 11 p.m. Saturdays, and Sunday noon to 9 p.m. Sundays.

"We are huge fans of Halloween and Tim Burton - and with the release of Beetlejuice this week we really went all out adding some friends to our normal Nightmare Before Christmas theme," owner George Tsiouris said.
