Well, Halloween falls on a Friday this year, so most of you don't have much of an excuse to NOT get out and about.  But what are ya gonna do?  I haven't found anything comin' up this year that is too terribly creative, but you do have some classic options.  Here are a few ideas - if you know of one that I missed, tell me and I might add it to the list.  These don't all necessarily fall ON halloween night, so be sure to check the links for details.   :)

Like a cocktail swilling butterfly emerging from a beer battered cocoon, AM Lounge has been reborn from rBar. The transformation took place late this summer, when the cool Grove neighborhood bar and grill rBar was closed down and remodeled by a few of the owners. We made the trek down to the corner of Chouteau and Sarah, (and drove around looking for a parking spot for a half an hour before deciding to entrust our baby to the seedy guy in the pay lot) to see what possible improvements could have been made to a bar that was already so awesome.
