This party is so big it takes 2 nights, tonight and Saturday night.

RIRA BETHESDA

"Nightmare on Elm Street"

RiRa is splitting the pub into two sections: Heaven and Hell. You decide which one you belong in (only you can answer that question!). No cover, cash prizes and ticket giveaways. Live music by T'Akila Jones at 10 PM. Watch out for Freddy Krueger on Elm St. Saturday night!

UNION JACK'S (see above)

You can probably hit every one of these parties if you time it right, and the free Bethesda Circulator can drop you off near these bars and at the Bethesda Metro Center. Have a great weekend, and after it's over, the big day - Halloween itself - is still ahead on Monday!
