Halloween Pub Crawls
The Heaven & Hell Halloween Party takes over Madd Hatter on Hoboken’s Washington Street on Saturday, October 24, 2026, from 9 PM to 2 AM. This is a single-venue party rather than a bar crawl. One address, one door, five hours, and a room split between the saints and the sinners. Pick a side before you arrive, because the theme is the whole point and nobody wants to be the person in a plain shirt.
Hoboken has a Halloween reputation the rest of the country travels for, and Washington Street is the reason. One square mile, more bars per block than almost anywhere on the East Coast, and a crowd that plans its costume in August. Madd Hatter sits in the middle of that, and on the Saturday before Halloween it commits the entire venue to Heaven and Hell: white and gold on one side, red and black on the other, and a night that runs until two.
Heaven or Hell is the only rule. Angels, devils, halos, horns, fallen saints, minor demons, and anything you can argue belongs on one side or the other. The costume energy in Hoboken is genuinely high and this party rewards effort, so the people who show up with a real concept are the ones who own the room. Judging runs through the night and the best on each side gets recognized before last call.
Whether you live in Hoboken, you are walking over from Jersey City, riding the PATH in from Manhattan, or driving down from elsewhere in North Jersey, Washington Street on the Saturday before Halloween is where the night is. Buy early. Hoboken Halloween tickets move faster than almost anywhere in the country.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the Madd Hatter Heaven ****&**** Hell party?
Saturday, October 24, 2026, 9:00 PM to 2:00 AM. It is a late-night party rather than an afternoon crawl, so the whole thing runs after most bar routes have finished.
Is Madd Hatter a bar crawl or a single-venue party?
A single-venue party. Everything happens at Madd Hatter itself rather than across a route, which makes it a different night from a wristband crawl through several Hoboken bars.
What does the Heaven and Hell theme mean?
It is a costume theme rather than a rule. Guests interpret it in both directions, angels and devils and everything in between, and the room usually splits fairly evenly.
Is a costume required at Madd Hatter?
Effectively yes. A themed Halloween party in Hoboken on the weekend before the 31st is a room where nearly everyone dresses, and turning up in ordinary clothes stands out.
Where is Madd Hatter in Hoboken?
On the Washington Street side of town, within the compact grid that makes Hoboken one of the densest bar districts in the country. It is an easy walk from the PATH.
Can I take the PATH train to Hoboken?
Yes, and it is the obvious choice. The PATH runs late from Manhattan into Hoboken Terminal, which sits a short walk from the Washington Street bars. Check the last service before you rely on it.
How busy is Hoboken on Halloween weekend?
Extremely. Hoboken draws an enormous crowd from across Hudson County and Manhattan on a Halloween Saturday, and Washington Street is genuinely packed by mid-evening. Expect the whole grid to be busy well before nine.
Does the 2 AM finish matter for getting home?
It does. Plan the PATH timing or a car in advance, because two in the morning on a Halloween Saturday is the worst possible moment to start improvising.
