Boooo! Spook-tacular ‘Halloween Bash’ at ‘Retox Lounge Bar’
Mangaluru: October 31st – The Vampires were out of their Coffins- The Corpses were out of their graves. And to get the scare out, hundreds of party animals gathered at the newest and happening place in town, the “Retox Lounge Bar” to meet the goblins. Yes, it was a Fang- tastic and Spook-tacular “Halloween Bash” at Retox Lounge Bar on Balmatta Road in City. Dare for a Halloween Scare – and that’s what exactly the jam-packed party revelers did at the ‘Lounge’. The night was filled with the queerest cocktails, food and all things eerie. Young and young-at-heart came attired with their favourite spooky and even sexy character, to win the wackiest male and female costumes cool prizes. The night was full of fright, fun, singing and music, and to all those “party-poopers”, all I can say is that “You missed one helluva Halloween Party of all times!”. Halloween was in the air, and it was one of a kind Halloween Party at Retox !
The crowd enjoyed a spook-tacular night, and Halloween was here to send a chill down your spine and ‘Retox’ celebrated the spirit of Halloween like never before with costumes and decor all dedicated to the theme of eerie Halloween, making it the scariest night of your life. To keep the party in a theme-full and spirit-full action the bartender mixed some special Halloween drinks like Killer, Dracula’s Bite, Witch’s Heart and Poison Punch. ‘Retox’ had it all to keep the crowd going all night long as they prepared to frighten the lost souls of the night. Some of the patrons were in their creepiest best. The Lounge wore a decor of glowing pumpkins, tombstones, spider-webs, ghosts and to spook you more-Fog!. Pyrotechnics welcomed you at the entrance.
City’s No 1 Flair and Mixology Bartender Sujan Shetty enthralled the crowd with his unique fire tricks and juggling, and area’s pro-Dj Lalith, the in-house Dj of ‘Retox’ belted out some of best EDM, Rock, Rap, Pop, techno numbers, also adding a masala of Bollywood hits, which kept the crowd grooving and shaking on the dance floor. Also spinning foot-tapping electro, progressive and spooky tunes, Halloween in India, unlike the USA is strictly a grown up affair. One would never find kids trick-or-treating in the country’s bustling streets and even if they did, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to suggest that it will only lead to a long, solid scolding from the neighborhood’s not-so-friendly Mary Auntie Keeping this in mind, perhaps the only way one could had a safe and fun Halloween was by going to ‘Retox lounge’, where the revelers embraced their quirks.
Seems like the American Halloween Fever has invaded the Mangaluru City by storm. In America, Halloween stands for a congregation of both religious and pagan beliefs, rituals and traditions. Irish immigrants were the ones who brought the festival to America. Every year on October 31, Americans celebrate Halloween with complete zeal and enthusiasm. The festival is celebrated to pay tribute to the departed souls of the near and dear ones. It is believed that the souls of the dead relatives come to earth to visit their living relatives. In the 20th century that the commercialization aspect came into being and the popularity of the festival increased. Today, in America, Halloween is more of a communal celebration rather than being a religious holiday. And for that matter, Mangaluru too followed the American Halloween spirit, which came alive at Retox Lounge.
