The Civic Council calls its parade &#8220;perhaps the largest children&#8217;s Halloween march&#8221;, so the people looking for a drink afterward often have a witch, a dinosaur and a stroller with them. The useful question is not just how close a room is, but whether it lets the children in.<\/p>\n<p>So on October 5, 2026 we read the Civic Council&#8217;s own parade pages, then the hours, booking and house-rules pages of nine places within nine minutes&#8217; walk of the route, and timed each walk in Google Maps. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/sports-bar-in-park-slope\/\">Our Park Slope bar at 148 5th Avenue<\/a> is in the table too. It is the farthest of the ten from the finish, and we have not published a policy on children.<\/p>\n<nav class=\"tbg-toc\" aria-label=\"On this page\">\n<p>On this page<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"#short\">The short answer<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#parade\">The parade: start, route and finish<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#bars\">Ten rooms by walk to the route<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#route\">Start, middle, turn and finish<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#ours\">Our bar on parade night, honestly<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#picks\">Which room for which family<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#warnings\">Before you go: five warnings<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#finder\">Find your room<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#methodology\">How we checked<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#faq\">Frequently asked questions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#verdict\">The verdict<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#sources\">Sources and references<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/nav>\n<div class=\"tbg-short\" id=\"short\">\n<strong>Short answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Right where the parade turns, Mockingbird at 213 7th Avenue serves no alcohol at all and says children are welcome, and Bar Louise a few doors away takes reservations and stays open until 1:00 AM. For a family dinner, The Dram Shop on 9th Street, six minutes from 7th Avenue, prints a kids menu, a changing table and &#8220;Kids Eat Free Saturdays&#8221; from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. At the finish, The Gate and LoFi are two and three minutes from the Old Stone House.<\/p>\n<p>Our bar, The Beer Garage at 148 5th Avenue, is a twelve-minute walk north of the Old Stone House, and every dish on its menu is gluten-free. Our regular Saturday hours run from 1:00 to 11:00 PM, and as of October 19 we had posted no Halloween plans and no policy on children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tbg-gf\">\n<strong>For a celiac trick-or-treater<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Halloween is a hard night for a child who cannot eat gluten, because almost nothing in the candy bag can be trusted. Our Park Slope menu is headed &#8220;100% gluten-free&#8221;, so a family can order anything on it, from the oysters to the escargot, without a single question about fryers or flour.<\/p>\n<p>That is the Park Slope kitchen only. Our West Village bar runs a standard kitchen, and draft beer is brewed from barley unless the label says otherwise, so the gluten-free promise covers the food, not every tap.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"parade\">The Park Slope Halloween Parade 2026: start, route and finish<\/h2>\n<p>All of this comes from the Park Slope Civic Council, which runs the parade, as its pages read on October 5, 2026 and again on October 19, 2026. The 2026 theme is &#8220;The Haunted Forest of Brooklyn&#8221;, and an orange and black vintage Ford leads the way.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tbg-scroll\">\n<table>\n<caption>The 2026 Park Slope children&#8217;s Halloween parade as described by the Park Slope Civic Council on its own website, read October 19, 2026.<\/caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">What<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">As the Civic Council prints it<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Date and start<\/td>\n<td>Saturday, October 31, 2026, 6:30 PM, at 7th Avenue and 14th Street<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Marching<\/td>\n<td>Come by 6:00 PM to line up<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Route<\/td>\n<td>North on 7th Avenue to 3rd Street, left on 3rd Street<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Finish<\/td>\n<td>The Old Stone House and Washington Park, with spooky music from the Brooklyn Conservatory<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Listed time<\/td>\n<td>6:30 to 8:00 PM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Theme<\/td>\n<td>&#8220;The Haunted Forest of Brooklyn&#8221;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>History<\/td>\n<td>Every year since 1986<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Two details shape the evening.

Mockingbird welcomes them and serves no alcohol. The Dram Shop feeds them for free on Saturday afternoons and keeps a changing table. The Double Windsor lets them in under house rules strict enough to read before you go: no strollers, no high chairs, and never a child at the bar. Of the others, only Bar Louise hints at an answer, by describing itself as a bar for the neighborhood&#8217;s adults.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"route\">Start, middle, turn and finish: the nearest rooms<\/h2>\n<p>The parade covers eleven blocks of 7th Avenue, from 14th Street to 3rd Street, then runs west along 3rd Street, across 6th and 5th avenues, to the Old Stone House. Each part of it has its own nearest doors.<\/p>\n<h3>The start, 7th Avenue and 14th Street<\/h3>\n<p>Marchers line up here from 6:00 PM. The Double Windsor on Prospect Park West is eight minutes away; it takes no reservations and asks that children stay seated with their adult. From this corner our own bar is a thirty-one-minute walk, so it is not a place to wait before the start.<\/p>\n<h3>The middle, 7th Avenue and 9th Street<\/h3>\n<p>The F and G trains stop at 7th Avenue and 9th Street, and The Dram Shop is six minutes away on 9th Street, between 5th and 6th avenues. Its own FAQ lists pool, darts, board games, a backyard garden and sidewalk seats.<\/p>\n<h3>The turn, 7th Avenue and 3rd Street<\/h3>\n<p>Mockingbird and Bar Louise sit a few doors apart on 7th Avenue, right at the turn, and Park Slope Ale House is two minutes away where the route crosses 6th Avenue. From this corner our bar is eighteen minutes away on foot.<\/p>\n<h3>The finish, the Old Stone House<\/h3>\n<p>The parade ends at the Old Stone House at 336 3rd Street, in Washington Park. The Gate is two minutes away on 5th Avenue, LoFi three on 2nd Street, The Commissioner six, Union Hall nine and our bar twelve. Two of them had posted Halloween-night plans when we checked on October 19, 2026, and both are grown-up nights: The Commissioner says &#8220;Bring your best costume and join us on Halloween!&#8221;, and Union Hall lists a costume contest at 9:00 PM, a Halloween show at 10:00 PM and a dance party at 11:59 PM on October 31.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ours\">Our bar on parade night, honestly<\/h2>\n<p>What we offer is short and specific. The Beer Garage Park Slope is at 148 5th Avenue, with its entrance on Douglass Street, a twelve-minute walk up 5th Avenue from the Old Stone House. Its whole menu is printed under &#8220;100% gluten-free&#8221;, which matters on a night built around candy. We take OpenTable bookings, and on a regular Saturday we are open from 1:00 to 11:00 PM, three hours past the end of the parade.<\/p>\n<p>What we lack is just as plain. We are not on the route; we are the farthest of the ten rooms from the finish. We have not published whether children are welcome, so a family should call 718-576-3409 before walking up. As of October 19 we had posted nothing about Halloween night, and the room is a sports bar, so the screens may be showing a game.<\/p>\n<p>Our suggestion: watch the march, follow it to the Old Stone House for the music, then walk up 5th Avenue to us for a gluten-free dinner before 11:00 PM. For other evenings in the neighborhood, see our guides to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/good-bar-for-a-group-birthday-in-park-slope\/\">a group birthday in Park Slope<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/best-bar-snacks-and-wings-in-park-slope\/\">bar snacks and wings in Park Slope<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"picks\">Which room for which family<\/h2>\n<p>Four rooms, four kinds of evening, each described from its own site or, for us, our own menu and homepage.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tbg-pick\">\n<p><strong>Mockingbird, 213 7th Avenue.<\/strong> At the turn of the route, for a family with small children.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Best for<\/strong> an alcohol-free stop where children are welcome: no alcohol served, bookings for 2 to 8 up to three weeks ahead, open until 10:00 PM on Saturdays.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skip if<\/strong> you want a beer or a cocktail with alcohol; it pours none.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tbg-pick\">\n<p><strong>The Dram Shop, 339 9th Street.<\/strong> Six minutes from 7th Avenue, for dinner before the march.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Best for<\/strong> feeding everyone early: a kids menu, Kids Eat Free on Saturdays from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, a changing table, and pool and darts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skip if<\/strong> you are a small group hoping to book; it takes reservations only for parties of 10 or more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tbg-pick\">\n<p><strong>The Gate, 321 5th Avenue.<\/strong> Two minutes from the Old Stone House, for the grown-ups after.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Best for<\/strong> a beer at the finish: Brooklyn&#8217;s oldest craft beer bar by its own account, with more than 50 beers, a side patio and sidewalk seats, open until 2:00 AM.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skip if<\/strong> you need to know about children before you arrive; its site does not say.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tbg-pick\">\n<p><strong>The Beer Garage, 148 5th Avenue.<\/strong> Our own bar, twelve minutes north of the finish.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Best for<\/strong> a gluten-free family dinner after the parade: every dish on the menu, an OpenTable booking, and three hours before closing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Skip if<\/strong> you want to stay on the route; we are a walk away, and we close at 11:00 PM.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"tbg-fig\" style=\"max-width:460px;margin:24px auto\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_1351-w1600.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_1351-w800.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_1351-w1600.webp 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 460px\" alt=\"The Beer Garage at night at 148 5th Avenue, a bar near the Park Slope Halloween Parade, with the lit Beer Garage sign, the number 148, LIVE SPORTS lettering beside the open garage doors and stools on the sidewalk\" width=\"1600\" height=\"2133\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1\/1;object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 60%\"><figcaption>Our door at 148 5th Avenue after dark, entrance on Douglass Street, twelve minutes&#8217; walk from the Old Stone House.

Rules on children are quoted from those pages; where a site said nothing, the table says &#8220;not mentioned&#8221;. The Commissioner&#8217;s homepage announced a Halloween night for October 31. On October 19, 2026 we read the parade pages and every room&#8217;s site again. The route, times and rules on children were unchanged; Union Hall had added Halloween-night shows, and for The Dram Shop we now give the bar&#8217;s Saturday close, 1:00 AM, as its FAQ prints it, with the kitchen closing at 12:30 AM.<\/p>\n<p>Walks were timed in Google Maps walking mode from each door to the nearest corner of the route, or to the Old Stone House for the rooms near the finish. For our own bar we used our homepage and our Park Slope menu. No venue paid to appear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tbg-cta\">\n<h2>Twelve minutes from the finish, every plate gluten-free<\/h2>\n<p>The Beer Garage Park Slope, 148 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217, entrance on Douglass Street.

At the finish, The Gate at 321 5th Avenue is two minutes from the Old Stone House and open until 2:00 AM. For a family dinner, The Dram Shop on 9th Street has a kids menu, and The Beer Garage at 148 5th Avenue serves a fully gluten-free menu twelve minutes from the finish.<\/p>\n<h3>When and where is the Park Slope Halloween Parade in 2026?<\/h3>\n<p>On Saturday, October 31, 2026 at 6:30 PM. It starts at 7th Avenue and 14th Street, goes north on 7th Avenue to 3rd Street, turns left on 3rd Street and ends at the Old Stone House in Washington Park. Marchers should arrive by 6:00 PM, and the Park Slope Civic Council lists it from 6:30 to 8:00 PM.<\/p>\n<h3>Which places near the parade welcome children?<\/h3>\n<p>Mockingbird at 213 7th Avenue says children are welcome and serves no alcohol. The Dram Shop at 339 9th Street has a kids menu, a changing table and Kids Eat Free on Saturdays from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The Double Windsor allows children seated with an adult but no strollers. The other rooms we read do not say.<\/p>\n<h3>Where does the Park Slope Halloween Parade end?<\/h3>\n<p>At the Old Stone House at 336 3rd Street, in Washington Park, where the Brooklyn Conservatory plays spooky music. The Gate is two minutes away, LoFi three, The Commissioner six and Union Hall nine.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there an alcohol-free place on the parade route?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Mockingbird at 213 7th Avenue, about a minute from the turn onto 3rd Street, is a beverage lounge that serves no alcohol, with non-alcoholic cocktails, coffee and food. It is open until 10:00 PM on Saturdays and takes reservations for 2 to 8 people.<\/p>\n<h3>Is The Beer Garage in Park Slope open on Halloween night?<\/h3>\n<p>Our regular Saturday hours in Park Slope are 1:00 to 11:00 PM, and October 31, 2026 is a Saturday. We had not posted Halloween plans or a policy on children when this page was checked again on October 19, so call 718-576-3409 before you come.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"verdict\">The verdict<\/h2>\n<p>A bar near the Park Slope Halloween Parade is easy to find; one that suits a family at 8:00 PM takes a little reading. Mockingbird and The Dram Shop are the clearest about children, Bar Louise and The Gate are the grown-up stops at the turn and the finish, and The Double Windsor is fine for families who leave the stroller at home.<\/p>\n<p>Our bar is where we would bring a gluten-free family after the music at the Old Stone House: a twelve-minute walk up 5th Avenue to a menu with nothing to check. Call first about the children, and come before 11:00 PM.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sources\">Sources and references<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Park Slope Civic Council: its <a href=\"https:\/\/parkslopeciviccouncil.org\/halloween-parade-2026-the-haunted-forest-of-brooklyn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Halloween Parade 2026 post<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/parkslopeciviccouncil.org\/event\/hlloween-parade\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">event listing<\/a>, read October 5 and October 19, 2026.<\/li>\n<li>The Beer Garage: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/\">beergarageny.com<\/a> (Park Slope hours and address) and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/PS-Beer_Garage_Menu.pdf\">Park Slope menu<\/a>, read October 5 and October 19, 2026.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mockingbird.nyc\/faqs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Mockingbird FAQ<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barlouisenyc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Bar Louise<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parkslopealehouse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Park Slope Ale House<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/thegatebrooklyn.getbento.com\/location\/the-gate-brooklyn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">The Gate<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lofibrooklyn.com\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">LoFi<\/a>, read October 5 and October 19, 2026.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dramshopbrooklyn.com\/faq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">The Dram Shop FAQ<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/thecommissionerbk.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">The Commissioner<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-double-windsor.com\/house-rules\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">The Double Windsor house rules<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/unionhallny.com\/info\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Union Hall<\/a>, read October 5 and October 19, 2026.<\/li>\n<li>Google Maps walking mode, from each door to the nearest corner of the parade route or to the Old Stone House, timed October 5, 2026.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"tbg-authorbox\">\n<img class=\"tbg-avatar tbg-avatar-lg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/marina-charny-owner-the-beer-garage.webp\" alt=\"Marina Charny, owner of The Beer Garage\" width=\"96\" height=\"96\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"object-fit:cover;padding:0\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Marina Charny<\/strong><br \/><span class=\"tbg-meta\">Owner, The Beer Garage (Park Slope and West Village)<\/span><br \/>This guide is for Park Slope families and neighbors who want somewhere to sit down after the march on 7th Avenue, and who would rather know the rules on children before they reach the door.
