A Very Phoenix Halloween: Parties to Eat, Drink (a lot) and Be Scary At

Get your party on, just  try not to end up like this guy this Halloween

Sick of spending Halloween in a smelly (what is that? Is that cheese? I think it might be cheese) Allston basement fighting through hordes of drunken hipsters in un-ironically ironic (ironically un-ironic?) costumes to get to the keg before the Natty Ice runs out?  Fear not, we've rounded up all the 21+ events at which you can guzzle all the pumpkin beer you desire. Some also include Halloween cocktails, $2 dollar beers, a Svedka photo book to remember (unless, like us, more often that not you want to forget) your night of national holiday-sanctioned debauchery, and music to dance your tails off (literally, for some of y'all.) Sure, some of these cost a bit more than a kegger at that bearded friend-of-a-friend's but how do you put a price on FUN?
