Work with us
Birthdays, office holiday parties, bachelorettes and big family outings. Reserve a block of seatings inside any of our pop-ups, or ask us about a private night for your group.
We bring the theme, the sets, the characters and the ticketing. You bring the room and the kitchen. Alibi Lounge has hosted our pop-ups since Mr. Grinch in 2022, with a new theme nearly every season.

About us
Unique Social Events is the Long Island team behind themed pop-up bars, dinner shows and charity bar crawls. We build every set, cast every character and write every menu around one question: what would make this night out unlike anything else?
It started in October 2020 with Witch Craft, a Hocus Pocus pop-up bar on Main Street in Farmingdale. Since then we’ve built Christmas clubs, Grinch hideouts and Halloween dinner shows in Farmingdale, Brentwood, Huntington, Patchogue and Smithtown. Read our story
