I've visited The Pottery before, but this time I came for their Holly Jolly Holiday Pop-Up Bar, and wow... it blew me away. My friends and I went right before Thanksgiving, and the moment you walk onto the first floor, you're fully transported into Christmas. The space is decked out--ornaments everywhere, twinkling lights, Christmas trees in every corner, and holiday music from every decade. It feels magical. And the themed food? Surprisingly delicious.
My boyfriend and I arrived first and grabbed drinks while we waited. He ordered the Sugar & Spice Old-Fashioned, and I tried the Toasted Marshmallow. Mine tasted like a cozy cup of boozy hot chocolate--warm, sweet, and perfect for the season. Our deal included two free drinks, so those were on the house. Later, I ordered the North Pole Mule, which was a refreshing cold drink and honestly one of my favorites of the night.
Once our friends arrived, we dove into food. We shared the Christmas Charcuterie Board--the cranberry jam on it was such a standout. I ordered the Cranberry Bacon Jam Sliders, which had good flavor but could've used a little more sauce to tie it all together. But the star of the night? The Smokehouse Mac & Cheese. We loved it--like, loved loved loved it.
Our server, Denise, was amazing--super friendly, attentive, and always available to answer our questions or make recommendations.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience at The Pottery's Holly Jolly Pop-Up. If you're looking for something festive, fun, and delicious this holiday season, I highly recommend checking it out. I believe it runs from November 22nd through mid-December, so take advantage while you can!
Definitely add the Holly Jolly Pop-Up to your holiday plans.
