"You’ll spot the annual pop-up bar Deck The Halls from the gigantic red sparkly bow arched over the entrance on Union St. Inside, expect life-size nutcracker soldiers, walls lined with wrapping paper, an inflatable snowman, and plenty of mistletoe if you’re looking to sneak a kiss. Drinks are served in snowglobes and hollowed-out glass ornaments and include ingredients like pine needle syrup, eggnog, and spiced cider. If you’re trying to keep it simple, there’s the Bah Humbug—a shot and a beer. No cover, but also no reservations." - patrick wong
