Explore Mariah Carey’s Ravishing Chicago Holiday Pop-Up Bar - Eater Chicago

"The same team behind pop-ups inspired by Saved by the Bell, Good Burger, and Buffy The Vampire Slayer have launched an endeavor centered around a song, Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You. This 21+ pop-up will last until December 29 at the Virgin Hotel in Chicago, 203 N. Wabash Avenue. A $20 ticket will get customers a welcome cocktail and a chance to hang out in a festive bar with plenty of Instagram- and TikTok-friendly spaces. Instead of writing a letter to Santa, there’s a station where fans can send a message to Carey. The speakers will play a barrage of holiday songs, but folks will hear Carey’s signature tune at least once during their 90-minute stay. Organizers utilized a similar strategy during its Golden Girls pop-up to ensure ticketholder would hear Thank You For Being a Friend. The cocktails feature Black Irish liqueur, a brand Carey launched in 2021. There’s also charcuterie, prime rib sliders, flatbreads, and desserts. Tour the space below." - Ashok Selvam
