Doblo Halloween has been the most exciting party in the city for years – and we have a feeling that this year’s edition won’t be an exception.

Doblo will offer some special Halloween cocktails and snacks as well. Let’s suit up! Wear extravagant make-up or a scary costume, and maybe a cool wig. You’ll get a free welcome drink if you do!
