Hawkins Is Calling: Get Ready for Stranger Things Season 5
It’s been a long wait since the Upside Down last turned Hawkins inside out, but the final season of Stranger Things is finally on its way — and we’re ready to crank up the synths, dust off our D20s, and throw the biggest ʼ80s-inspired party this side of Indiana.
Whether you’ve been with Eleven since the first Eggo or you just found your way out of the Upside Down last season, here’s why we’re all-in on Season 5 — and why you should plan on watching it with us.
🎲 It Started with Dungeons & Dragons — Just Like Us
Stranger Things isn’t just about monsters and missing kids — it’s about friendship, found family, and geeking out over D&D in a basement. Sound familiar? That’s basically a Tuesday night at Battle & Brew.
The kids of Hawkins may be fighting off Demogorgons and Mind Flayers, but they're also every group of gamers who ever stayed up too late rolling for initiative. Season 5 promises even bigger battles — and more reason to roll deep with your party (and maybe a plate of loaded tots).
🔥 Vecna’s Still Out There — And We’re Not Okay
Let’s be real: Season 4 broke us. Max’s fate. Eddie’s guitar solo. Nancy with a shotgun. The Duffers left us dangling like a string of Christmas lights in the Byers’ living room.
Now, with the Upside Down bleeding into the real world, all bets are off. Will Hopper survive again? Will Will finally get to be happy? Will we ever emotionally recover? Only one way to find out — and it involves a big screen, a cold drink, and a crowd who’s just as obsessed as you are.
👾 We’re Throwing the Ultimate Stranger Things Events
At Battle & Brew – Battery, we’re not just watching Season 5 — we’re making it an event. Expect:
Stranger Things Trivia Nights: Prove you know your Scoops Ahoy from your Surfer Boy.
Themed Drink Specials: Vecna’s Curse (it burns going down), Upside Down Old Fashioneds, and maybe a Demogorgon Punch Bowl if you’re brave.
Cosplay Nights: Rock your best Hellfire Club tee, Hawkins High jacket, or full Eleven nosebleed look.
Watch Parties: When Netflix drops Season 5, you’ll want to be here. Trust us. Projector. Sound system. No spoilers. All vibes.
🛼 Nostalgia Is the Superpower
You don’t have to be an ʼ80s kid to love Stranger Things — but if you remember cassette tapes, arcades, and questionable fashion choices, this show hits a little different. From the music (Kate Bush, never leave us) to the walkie-talkies and neon lights, this series is a love letter to everything we love about geek culture, horror, and growing up weird.
The End Is Near — Let’s Go Out Big
This is the final season. The last ride. The last chance to scream at the TV together and then hug it out over milkshakes and monster fries.
Get ready, because Hawkins needs us — and we’re answering the call with wings, waffles, and wall-to-wall weirdness.
Keep your eyes on our calendar and socials — we’ll be dropping our full Stranger Things lineup of events soon. In the meantime, prep your theories, rewatch that Eddie solo, and tell Vecna we said hi.👁
