West Hollywood residents Josh and Ben, the hosts of the YouTube channel called TheBigGoose Adventures, take us a “West Hollywood Gay Bar Halloween Decorations Tour” along Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood’s LGBT Rainbow District.
Josh says Halloween is their favorite time to be residents in West Hollywood, mainly because some bars go all out with their Halloween decorations for Hallows Eve.
Bars that received a special mention are Mother Lode, Micky’s WeHo, Beaches, Rocco’s, The Chapel, and The Abbey which had the most decorations in their patios and inside their bars. The tour also gives some LGBT history and some of the bars.
Tthe City of West Hollywood’s iconic Halloween Carnaval is back this year.
