What Universal announced
Universal has published the full 2026 concept and menu for Dead Coconut Club – Harvest, its Halloween Horror Nights transformation of Red Coconut Club at Universal CityWalk. This year's story turns the venue into Midweston's 35th Annual Harvest Festival before an alien invasion carries the party upstairs into a glowing mothership.
The club is scheduled to open at 4 p.m. on HHN event nights and disappear after November 1. Universal's live HHN page describes specialty beverages, light bites, interactives and music at the CityWalk venue. It also says guests must be 21 or older with valid photo ID to purchase and consume alcohol.
The first Dead Coconut Club food menu
Universal says this is the first year Dead Coconut Club has served food. The three dishes follow the evening's alien-invasion story:
- Hawaiian Toast: French baguette bread with garlic cream sauce, crispy Spam, pineapple chutney, jalapeños, scallions and mozzarella.
- The Party Crasher: a chili-cheese hot dog with crushed tortilla chips and a “blood and guts” relish.
- Cosmic PB&J: a strawberry peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich fried in black funnel-cake-style batter, then finished with hot honey and popping candy.
Universal did not publish prices, portion details, daily quantities or allergy information in the announcement. Travelers should verify current availability and dietary details on site instead of treating every item as guaranteed.
Cocktails and the secret-menu drink
The ground-floor harvest areas serve Lollipop, Mexican Candy Margarita, Stars Burst, Jack-o-Lantern and Scarecrow. The upstairs mothership bar adds Void of Resin and Liquid Xenon.
Universal also names Irradiated Infusion as an upstairs-only secret-menu item. The rum-and-sour-mix drink is served in an IV-style pouch and is described as tasting like sour green apple candy. The official announcement does not list drink prices.
How to plan the stop
Dead Coconut Club is at CityWalk, not inside the Halloween Horror Nights event in Universal Studios Florida. Universal pitches it as a stop before entering the park or as a nightcap, but the announcement does not state that an HHN ticket is required for club entry. It also does not publish a cover charge, reservation requirement, capacity policy or closing time.
The important constraint is the calendar: the 4 p.m. opening applies only on HHN event nights, and Universal says the experience ends November 1. Check current HHN ticket availability and same-day operations before building the evening around it.
If this is part of a larger Universal trip, use the free Universal Hackulator to compare tickets, passes, hotels and Express. The Dead Coconut Club announcement does not change park admission or HHN ticket rules.
Fine print and verification
Fruglar verified the 4 p.m. opening, November 1 end, food and drink descriptions, location and alcohol rule against Universal's official October 27 guide and live HHN page. Universal did not publish menu prices, a closing time, cover charge, reservation process, capacity, guaranteed inventory or a statement that an HHN ticket is required for the CityWalk venue. Event details and availability can change.
