If your Halloween plans involve a costume, DJs and a full night out downtown, Hard Rock Hotel San Diego is hosting Haunted Manor on Saturday, October 31. The event spreads across multiple spaces, so this is one to consider when your group wants to move around rather than spend the whole night at one bar.
The details
When: Saturday, October 31, 2026, 9 p.m.–2 a.m.
Where: Hard Rock Hotel San Diego, 207 5th Ave, San Diego, CA 92101
Age: 21+
The hotel’s official Halloween page describes themed areas including a rooftop Graveyard, Haunted Ballroom, poolside spaces and the Forbidden Library at 207. Think costumes, dancing and cocktails rather than a traditional walkthrough haunted house.
Who’s playing?
The organizer’s event listing names SICKICK for the rooftop and SPRYTE for the ballroom. Tony V, Beatz by O and Darianyx are listed for the Latin and reggaeton room at 207. The advertised setup includes three floors, four stages, seven rooms and 15+ DJs.
Tickets and upgrades
Check Haunted Manor tickets here. Check the current tier and total before paying; availability can change close to Halloween.
Hard Rock advertises general admission, a Fast Pass with expedited entry and dedicated bars and lounges, plus separate VIP seating and bottle-service options. For VIP inquiries, start with the hotel’s official Halloween page and confirm the October 31 event date before booking.
A few things to plan before you go
The organizer lists no re-entry, a maximum bag size of 10 by 10 inches and no weapon-like costume props. It’s worth checking your entire costume against the current admission rules before leaving home, especially if the accessories are a big part of the look.
For a group night, choose your ticket type together and decide on a meeting point before you arrive. Save everyone’s ticket information on their own phones, plan your ride home and leave room in your budget for anything your ticket does not include. A reserved space can be useful for a group, but check its exact guest count and spending requirements rather than assuming a standard admission ticket includes seating.
