All that villainy takes a lot of energy and we know there has to be a way for our favorite villains to relax after a hard day's work. Maybe they all go home and binge-watch their favorite crime shows or maybe they just head straight for their bed. We like to think they gather at a pub and share stories of their failed conquests over refreshing drinks and hearty appetizers. Ursula is always cackling at the corner of the bar with a Sea Witch's Brew in hand and Hades tends to end his night passed out in a booth with a table-full of Blue Lagoons. We contacted the bar owner to find out the recipes for you and your friends so you can get a taste of what being a villain is like. Keep reading to find your favorite below!
