It’s Showtime: Houston Bar Celebrates ‘Beetlejuice’ Sequel with Fun Run, Specials and More

Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian cocktail

SPOOKY SEASON IS starting early this year with the release of the Beetlejuice sequel in theaters on Friday. Houston cocktail bar and pizza joint Betelgeuse Betelgeuse is celebrating the film with two weekends of events and specials.

Owner Chris Cusack — whose favorite childhood movie is… you guessed it, Beetlejuice — is decking out the Washington Ave. location accordingly. There are giant, black-and-white backdrops — including a creepy-crawly pic of striped sandworms — for selfies, plus a miniature model set of the town Wind River.

Sip from the special cocktail menu at the Montrose and Washington Ave. locations from Sept. 6-13. The “Beetle Juice” with THC spirit or gin and muddled blackberries is a smash, while the lime-green, frozen “Magician’s Assistant” is a funky spin on a highball.

Be the ghost with the most and take part in a costumed fun run on Sunday, Sept. 15 at 7pm. All run levels are invited to don their best Beetlejuice-inspired looks and enjoy a free 3-mile route that starts at the Washington Ave. location. There’s a costume contest immediately following!

Additional costume contests are taking place at the Washington Ave. location on Friday, Sept. 6 and Friday, Sept. 13, at 11pm. Plus, don’t miss free flash tats Sept. 13 from 9pm-1am! So, go ahead, make your millennium.

The pool at Zen

THE MANAGER OF Grand Velas Riviera Maya says a funny thing as she tours a writer around the 206-acre all-inclusive between Cancun and Tulum. “I still get lost sometimes. If I forget what I’m doing and stop looking at the signs, I wind up in the parking lot.”

On Nantucket, an Indulgent, Quintessentially New England Getaway Awaits

The Cottages at the Boat Basin

THERE'S A REASON that many Houstonians glorify a quaintly picturesque life on Nantucket. Actually, there are several: a storied history, charming shops, cobblestone streets, impossibly fresh oysters (and need we even mention the weather?).
