About Unique Social Events

Our story

From One Pop-Up Bar to a New Theme Every Season

Unique Social Events started in October 2020 with Witch Craft, a Hocus Pocus pop-up bar at Main Street Social in Farmingdale. The idea was simple: build a set so complete that a night out feels like stepping into the movie.

Since then we have built Christmas clubs, Grinch hideouts and Halloween dinner shows across Long Island with local bars and restaurants. They bring the room and the kitchen. We bring the theme, the sets, the characters and the ticketing. Mike Marra leads the team, which also runs SantaCon and LepreCon Long Island.
