For a fun twist on Halloween, Cultivar SF is hosting Pup-O-Ween, a costume event for dogs and their humans, on October 31 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Guests can bring their pups in costume and enjoy a special Happy Hour menu featuring $7 bites like Truffle Popcorn, Blackened Salmon Sliders, and Tuna Wonton Tacos with mango salsa. Wines by the glass include Cultivar Sauvignon Blanc and Cultivar Rosé. There’s a costume contest with prizes for Best Costume, Best Trick, and Best Pup + Human Partner Costume.
Finally, Dolls SF presents Nightmare on Lombard Street, a Halloween-themed drag performance held at Westwood every Friday and Saturday until November 2.
