How many references can I make in this review to describe the weather along with the enjoyable time that was had at Clinton Hall's North Pole Holiday Party the other night... 1.) We definitely had a "Blast" at the event last week! 2.) Everyone seemed to be "chilling" and 3.) Many had a "cool" time...Ok,.I think that I made my point. While it was definitely a "winter feeling" that evening, many of us were able to have a good time talking, laughing, playing games, eating treats and having strong drinks. It is safe to say that this event at Clinton Hall was the closest thing to having North Pole vibes delivered to us in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn!
Clinton Hall is so pretty and the front and side views are so nice. Once I walked inside, things were in full swing and a few people directed me to give the hostesses my name to receive a wristband. There is a bar area along with multiple seating and table arrangements inside before one proceeds outside. After taking some pictures, I went out in the backyard. Gorgeous Holiday decor was everywhere to bring the North Pole theme to life....beautifully lit Christmas Trees, Snowmen, Reindeer, "snow", signs, etc. If you know me, you know that I must take you on my journey w/me and the best way for me to do that is by taking lots of pictures-lol.
People had fun playing w/ giant Uno Cards as well as Jenga and Connect 4 games. Supercute portable heated "Smores" Stations where we got to create these yummy treat w/ Hershey Bars, marshmallows and graham crackers were on every outside table. Santa and Mrs. Claus were in the house and exuded positive energy by mingling w/ and taking pictures w/ all of us. Mrs. Claus was definitely the life of the party...
Clinton Hall created a Holiday Menu for this North Pole Party. This establishment showcased several of their hot Whiskey infused drinks to keep us warm on this particular evening. If you like strong, whiskey focused cocktails then you will find these at Clinton Hall. Some of the ones served included the 1.) Bare Knuckle Toddy- Irish Whiskey,Honey Liquer, lemon + cloves, 2.) Candy Cane Cocoa - Hot Chocolate, Whiskey w/Candy Canes and 3.) Hot Spiked Cider - Spiced Apple Cider, Apple Crisp Whiskey w/ a cinnamon stick. The Pretzel w/ Rum Spiked Egg Nog Cream Cheese Frosting and the Italian Christmas Croissant Grilled Cheese - italian Ham, Pepperoni, Mozzarella Cheese + Hot Cherry Pepper Pesto were my favorites. The consensus at our table was that the grilled cheese was delightful.
Thanks to the Clinton Hall Staff. Although we were a large crowd the servers were wonderful, gracious and courteous. Special thank you to Manager Jeremy who brough our table some of those absolutely marvelous Italian Christmas Croissant Grilled Cheese Sandwiches...good to the last bite!
