Samain: A Galician Halloween

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Oct 27-31, 5 pm - 12 midnight

Thanks to its Celtic roots, Galicia is the one region of Spain with an endemic Halloween tradition. Known locally as Samain, the holiday involves witches, flaming cocktails served in pumpkin bowls, and all the other cheesy spooky stuff to make it feel like Halloween without us needing to veer too off-brand for El Lopo.

In the northwest corner of Iberia, Galicia is a cooler, greener, and wetter version of Spain with its own language and cultural identity. It's the perfect climate for crisp and salty white wines, light and acidic reds, content and well-fed pigs and cows, and briny and fatty seafood. So it's no sacrifice for us to go full-gallego with the food, drinks, and activities all weekend.

Expect lots of empanadas and tinned fish, a beer garden in Lower Polk Plaza with schwag giveaways from Estrella Galicia, and a constantly-brewing cauldron of a brandy-coffee concoction called queimada.

There's no cost to attend, but in an effort to curb the chaos that comes with any drinking holiday, our indoor tables will be available by reservation only on the 27th, 28th, and 31st. Walk-ins will of course be welcome at the bar and outdoors. For those who prefer to avoid the crowds altogether but still want to experience our special menu, Sunday the 29th and Monday the 30th will be the sweet spot.
