About

Nellie's Halloween night is all about the costumes and the cash. DJ spins from 10PM, but the real show starts at midnight when the costume contest kicks off. Grand prize is $300, with runner-up prizes including Drag Brunch tickets and a bar tab. This is the kind of Saturday night where your outfit actually pays for itself.
