Christmas Club Pop-Up Bar

Santa slays in every way at Christmas Club we stay!!! what a great place to enjoy the holiday feels and embrace what Clark street is truly about during Xmas time!! so magical!!

Thank you for spreading festive joy !!

No food service available like advertised. No holiday music playing. Less than 10 customers and still waited nearly 15 min for two drinks. Hours also not as listed online! Huge disappointment! EDIT, nothing online explaining the alleged limited food hours or last call before 12:00. And yes it is the correct location.

Super fun Christmas bar!! They did an amazing job decorating the bar in christmas decorations! It is like you are at the North Pole in Santa’s workshop!! It really puts you in the Christmas mood! Bravo!! This is AWESOME!!!

Had a wonderful experience & met some great people. Food and drinks were on point. Will definitely go back!

Rude bartender for literally no reason at all. Drinks were good and music was fun but other than that I will not be visiting again.

The 2nd floor is just for private parties, but yummy drinks and great staff

This bar was super cute! The drinks were strong, so you definitely get your money’s worth 🥵 I also loved that it wasn’t nonstop Christmas music; it was maybe every 4th or 5th song, so not annoying lmao

The decorations here are amazing! They really go all out, and I especially appreciated all the Home Alone references. They even had a mannequin rotating around in front of the second floor window! There's a few different areas- the main bar downstairs, the second big bar area upstairs, and additional smaller bar area upstairs. Each area is decorated a little different. One of my favorites was the gingerbread house room (it even smelled like gingerbread in there!). I went the Wednesday before thanksgiving and it was dead in here, so finding a table was no problem. But I'm sure that's not the case on weekends. The cocktails are a bit pricey, but that's to be expected. I got the nutcracker and really enjoyed it. There's no cover here which is great, and you'll surely be in the holiday spirit as soon as you walk in!

The decorations here are spot on - definitely 5 stars! I loved all the lights and the fun signs. Compared to other Christmas bars (without covers), this place really goes all out. However, when we arrived, we were disappointed to find that it was virtually impossible to get a table. Every table on the first floor had a reserved sign and the second floor was booked for a private party. We hadn't seen anything obvious about reservations on the website so were a little surprised. We did end up getting a table though! We started with the eggnog and white claw cocktails. I loved the eggnog one - it was perfectly creamy and sweet without being too sweet or strong. I also loved the mug that it came in. However, we were really disappointed by the White Claw cocktail. It tasted super watery and didn't taste like apple cider, as promised, at all. We also tried the Jingle Juice (sangria) and Grinch cocktail. I liked the Jingle Juice, although it was a little watery. And my friends liked their Grinch cocktail. Overall, this is a fun place! The decorations are great and it's not too overpriced. But the drinks aren't the greatest, so if you're looking for a really good quality Christmas cocktail, I suggest looking elsewhere.

I came here with a friend of mine while visiting chicago. We went to the upstairs portion and the bartender Kate was AWESOME. They had different drink specials and she did a great job explaining them and helping us make a decision on what we ordered. The decor here was so on point for christmas and the holidays that it was amazing. Ornaments, presents, pictures, hanging from the wall/ceiling...you name it. We had a blast.

Came here for the grinch green drink with the cute Santa hat in it, first of all getting a drink here is like getting a liver transplant. We waited 20+ minutes for the cute drinks we saw via Instagram and none of the drinks actually came with any of the cute extra stuff... the bar was literally body to body, not much seating. They serve food, but a very limited "Christmas" themed menu. Great music via DJ. We attempted to get a second drink we had no luck ‍ Overall the idea is cute, decorations are cute, employees were dressed up super cute, but they needed more staff, and if your gonna advertise really cool Christmas drinks, ya better be prepared to serve them when you charge 15$.

So came here with my gf and ordered a double Jameson on the rocks. Who'da thought a bar would charge you $2 friggin dollars just for ice on top of your drink??????? And top of that, if you're a Christmas themed bar why the fuck are you playing US 66 top country hits?? This is why I hate Wrigleyville....don't @me manager

Wish I could give more stars. The bartenders and waitresses were so polite and timely. Unfortunately, this rating is due to the bus boys. We had a water spill at the table so I folded up the table cloth at the ends so it wouldn't spill onto the floor. A man came up and yelled at me for moving the table cloth and told me to put it back down after I told him water was spilled everywhere. There was a table next to us who had people standing and it would have been spilled on them as well. When I tried to explain the situation he brought me a handful of napkins like that was going to help. I went up to our server and explained the situation and she apologized saying it was okay and she would help, which she did. But I didn't appreciate being yelled at for helping a situation and asking for towels. It was a great experience until this happened.

I'm a sucker for Christmas. I'm one of those Hallmark Channel Christmas movie-watching, Christmas cookie-baking, Christmas carol-listening fans of the season. I'm generally not a fan of Christmas comedies, however. One exception is the film, Christmas Vacation. Therefore, when I heard about Christmas Club, a holiday-themed popup bar in Wrigleyville, on the news, and when I looked at its menu online, I was thrilled! Christmas Club offers Cousin Eddie's Egg Nog (an alcoholic cocktail)! Cousin Eddie is, of course, a character from Christmas Vacation. Sign. Me. Up. My husband and I visited on a Monday night right after we visited another Christmas-themed popup bar down the street, a pop that was more ornately decorated, so we weren't as dazzled with the decorations as perhaps we would have been if Christmas Club had been our first stop. Alas, Christmas Club is adorable, with giant Santa hats on each stool and lots of lights. Christmas Club was not busy when we arrived, and we easily found seats at the bar. We were also greeted immediately. When we chatted with the bartender and ordered our Cousin Eddie's Egg Nogs, she told us that they come in souvenir moose mugs that patrons get to keep! What??? I had seen a moose mug photo on the website, but I didn't know that our Cousin Eddie Egg Nogs would actually be served in them or that we'd get to keep these treasures! If Christmas Club would've been advertising this aspect (Note: This fact needs to be added to the PDF menus at the very least.), I would have been running to Christmas Club even faster than I did. Talk about a major selling point! The moose mugs don't look like the clear glass ones in the film, Christmas Vacation. They are plastic, and the moose is in color, making the moose look like a cartoon character. Alas, they are delightful! Our Cousin Eddie Egg Nogs were less sweet than the hot chocolate we shared at another nearby holiday popup bar, a welcome reprieve from intense sugar; the cost of the beverages were exactly the same ($12), but, in the case of Christmas Club, we got to keep the moose mugs! Bargain! Score! Holiday kitch bliss! We were so pleased with the mugs that we bought a third mug without egg nog for $6 to bring to my brother in Michigan. Yes, little brother, there is a Santa Claus. I know the bling of the other holiday popup bar is impressive, but you do not want to miss Christmas Club's yummy whipped cream and cookie-topped Cousin Eddie's Egg Nog in souvenir moose mugs!

I absolutely loved this place. It has the holiday charm you're looking for in a pop up, but with more reasonable prices. We made it here, after seeing the line for a similar Christmas pop up. The staff was awesome!!! Our waitress and the amazing lady dressed as an elf were fun all night long. Very cute holiday atmosphere, and upstairs has plenty of photo op spots. And the drinks were delicious!!

Christmas Club was a pop up Christmas bar, wall to wall people, loud music, special Christmas drinks in special Christmas glasses. Every inch decorated with Christmas wrapping paper, bows, ornaments, tinsel. Pop in to the next pop up in your area!

I love these Christmas pop up bars that's in Wrigley! So fun and festive and gets you in the mood for the holidays! All of the pop up bars were packed and this one in particular did not have a cover charge. Although there will probably be a line out the door since there is a capacity limit even though I felt it was way too crowded and packed in there. I ordered 3 of the cousin eddies eggnog ($12 each) that came in a cute cup and 1 of the how the grinch stole CC ($10), the drinks were good but I wish they had better shot options..one of the options for shots was a double shot of Malort, barf! Also the wait to get a drink was insane, there was only maybe 3 bartenders on and they were not the merriest people to be around since they were running their tails off. They could of def. used more staff to accommodate all of the people.

I'm not saying this place is racist...I'm just saying if you need a certain amount of white people on your table to get your order. Unfortunately we didn't, and it took us 25 minutes to get someone come over and take our order. Meanwhile our waitress was happily chatting with and taking orders from other tables who just got seated and taking their order. This place feels American in so many ways, and I didn't mean it as a compliment way. Drinks were bad. Will never visit again.

Cocktails were festive but the the tequila with coconut milk and whatever else tasted weird. While my alcoholic eggnog drink tasted like foam and sour? Great inside decoration. Guessing holiday drinks are in this year?

Just your typical, failing, Wrigleyville bar! Tying to capitalize on Christmas by offering overpriced, poorly made $15 drinks because....wait for it....they put up Christmas decorations on the inside of a bar!!!!! What!?!? So unique!!! Staff is incredibly dumb and rude! Nothing positive about this bar. Complete dump. Super loud! Bathrooms are super gross! I've witnessed a bouncer physically assualt a customer. I honestly don't know how the people that work at this bar sleep at night. Your lives are so sad. Maybe you should have listened to your high school counselor who said "you better go to college and get a degree so you aren't working at a bar the rest of your life." If the manager would like more details - I'll gladly talk to him or her. Message me with a contact name and number.

Bad, overpriced drinks. Staff was rude, bar tender accused us of stealing her friends purse??? We didn't. Don't go here. It's the worst.

Went here last night and it was pretty average for the most part. Came here with my boyfriend and best friend's family, so there was around 34 people. Bartender in the back was very stressed out and moved quite slow, and then made multiple comments to everyone about their tip. When my friend was ordering another round, she made a comment like, "You know what you're asking me for, right? Because you haven't tipped me all night!". My friend buying that round didn't actually buy drinks prior to this point. Don't know if it was her boyfriend, brother, or some guy just trying to hit on her, but he was basically there the whole entire time standing by the bar and watching her. Didn't know if it was for moral support or what, but it was weird. It wasn't like him being there was making her move any faster, but whatever. When our food came, my boyfriend and I just stared at the food at the bar waiting for her to call our name. We didn't just want to snatch it, but she didn't even acknowledge that our food was ready and we just stared at it for like 5 minutes. The onion rings came on a mini Christmas tree, which again... weird. I don't know if that's what other people are into, but it's pretty gross to me. The chicken sandwich was actually pretty good along with the ranch that came with our cheese curds. Decent bar food that I did enjoy. Bathrooms were disgusting. All in all, I was drunk enough but this isn't a place where I'd come again.

Went last night, very cute, had a great time until the bouncer started calling my boyfriend the n word for throwing a cigarette butt in the street, sheesh, I guess he was really passionate about keeping the neighborhood clean, won't be going back, will be taking civil action.

Came on a not so crowded Sunday afternoon. TAKE ADVANTAGE of this super cool spot now. The spiced sangria was delicious and the eggnog was like drinking a Cinnamon Toast Crunch milkshake. Food also good, bar food but still very good!

The decorations were really good and instagram-able, but the drinks left something to be desired. They were a little to expensive for their size and how much alcohol was in them. The holiday menu was a little smaller than I was hoping for as well. Not an awful experience, but I am not sure I would recommend it unless you were already in Wrigley.

Came here for a friends Christmas party, and was having a good time in one of the private rooms upstairs. At some point, a decoration that was taped to the wall falls off, and hits my friend in the head while I'm talking to her. We laughed it off, no big deal. Later, my boyfriend picks up said decoration, and tries to stick it back to the wall. Bouncer comes up, tells him he needs to leave the bar, says "I saw you pull multiple things off the wall" (complete lie), and proceeds to escort him out of the bar. We try to discuss the situation, affirming what he thought happened did not, and he was wrong, but are rudely told to leave. Don't come here and spend your money if you want to be treated like a human being.

Had a great time, enjoyed a friendly atmosphere and wait staff, and super good Christmas drinks (Grinch and Nutcracker) while the Elf on the Shelf made his way through the crowd to find out who was naughty or nice... The decor is amazing and holiday spirit abounding. Enjoy.
