Scary Wednesdays at Luca Bistro: A Hauntingly French Halloween Experience in Mt. Adams

Looking for a unique way to celebrate Halloween in Cincinnati? This October, Luca Bistro is bringing a little mystery, candlelight, and French-inspired fun to Mt. Adams.

Every Wednesday throughout October, Luca Bistro transforms its dining experience into Les Catacombes, a candlelit Halloween celebration featuring specialty cocktails, seasonal appetizers, and a delightfully spooky atmosphere.

Located at 934 Hatch Street in the heart of Mt. Adams, Luca Bistro is inviting guests to embrace the darker side of French dining from 5–9 PM each Wednesday.

A Little French Dark, a Little Halloween Fun

Scary Wednesdays puts a playful twist on the traditional evening out. Whether you're looking for a midweek date night, gathering with friends, or simply an excuse to explore one of Cincinnati's most charming neighborhoods, Les Catacombes offers a festive experience.

Guests can dine inside, enjoy the patio, or grab a seat at the bar. Costumes are welcome, but not required.

Spooky Cocktails & French-Inspired Bites

The limited-time menu features two Halloween-inspired cocktails.

Kissed by a Vampire ($12) combines tequila, pomegranate, orange bitters, and sparkling water for a blood-red cocktail with a little bite.

Witches' Brew ($14) features Empress gin, sparkling lemonade, and blackberry syrup, creating a shimmering violet drink.

For something to share, guests can enjoy Os à Moelle ($19), roasted bone marrow with herbs and grilled bread, or La Planche d'Os ($19), a French-inspired board of saucisson, cornichons, grainy mustard, and baguette.

Make a Night of It in Mt. Adams

One of the best parts of visiting Luca Bistro is its location in historic Mt. Adams. With neighborhood bars, restaurants, scenic streets, and beautiful views of Cincinnati nearby, it's easy to turn a Wednesday dinner into an evening exploring the Hill.

Scary Wednesdays is another reason to visit Mt. Adams this fall and support the independent businesses that make our neighborhood special.
