October is here, Houston. While embracing all the horror movies, Halloween candies, and pumpkins your heart can handle, be sure to add The Cursed Cauldron to your list of things to do this Halloween season in Houston.
Now open at Aero Cocktail Co. in River Oaks – located at 2031 Westcreek Lane – The Cursed Cauldron is a limited-time cocktail pop-up bar that blends the spirits of witchcraft with the spirits of mixology.
