Bar Rouge at Kimpton Rouge Hotel invites Washingtonians to show off their pumpkin carving skills at the bar’s Pumpkin Carving Contest, taking place on Wednesday, October 31, 2018 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. The lounge will set up carving stations throughout the space and provide a limited number of pre-scooped pumpkins as well as safe carving tool kits. Beginning at 6:00 p.m., pumpkins will be distributed to patrons. Pumpkins are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, so guests should be sure to arrive early.

Participants will have until 7:30 p.m. to carve the pumpkins, at which point the winner will be announced. The winner of “Most Glamorous Gourd” (best overall design) will receive a $50 bar gift certificate to Bar Rouge. The winning pumpkins will be displayed in the bar for the rest of the night.

During the pumpkin carving, patrons can enjoy seasonal drinks by lead bartender Julia Christie-Robin including a Count Chocula specialty cocktail with Absolut Vodka, Whole Milk, Cocoa Puffs Cereal, Madagascar Vanilla Bean, Cinnamon and Lemon Zest ($6) as well as Devil’s Backbone O’Fest Oktoberfest Lager ($5). Happy Hour prices will be offered for the duration of the event until 8:00 p.m., including $6 mixed drinks, $5 beer and $9 wine.

For those already committed to trick-or-treating, Kimpton Rouge Hotel’s front desk will also be passing out candy to neighborhood children in costume on Halloween night.

Bar Rouge is located in the Kimpton Rouge Hotel at 1315 16th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036. For more information please call 202-232-8000 or visit www.barrouge.com
