Why Are Christmas-Themed Bars — Like Miracle Pop-Ups —Such Big Business? | Eater
"A tiki-themed holiday pop-up spin on the cocktail-pop phenomenon that leans into surfer-Santa imagery and tropical kitsch; conceived as a companion concept to the primary Christmas cocktail experience, it features themed cocktails and exclusive merchandise and was developed in collaboration with noted tiki talent to translate holiday nostalgia into a surf-shack aesthetic." - Martha Daniel
"A Tiki-themed spin-off of the holiday pop-up created with a noted Tiki expert that appears in a subset of locations and reimagines festive drinks through a tropical lens; signature offerings include the Kris Kringle Colada, made with dark Jamaican rum, Cynar, allspice liqueur, lime and pineapple juices and cream of coconut." - Whitney Filloon
We went there unplanned and had the best time ever! Despite all the private rooms being full, and now I know why – this place boasts the best holiday cocktail I've tried in Pittsburgh! 🍸🧉 I regret not visiting earlier. 🥺 Can't wait for another holiday season! 🎄😻

The atmosphere is great, Christmas mood booster for sure, drinks are unique and you can definitely taste alcohol in them! The menu is interesting and somewhat limited at the same time - pasta, pizza, a couple appetizers. I'd suggest going there for drinks and pictures only!

When I arrived I got a seat at the bar, which was awesome. However twice I was denied service of getting a cocktail. I waited patiently for a good amount of time and then noticed the bartender with glasses and a hat ignoring me. It was as if he didn't want a tip or to be bothered. Which is extremely rude and unacceptable. All I wanted was ime drink before a concert. I give service a F+. I suggest trying harder to notice when customers are there.

This is an adorable pop up and a truly wonderful holiday experience! The mixologists were all so helpful and welcoming! I had a ginger snapper shot, and the ceramic Rudolph glasses were so cute that I of course ended up buying two to take home. I can't wait to visit again!

Went with a group that was celebrating Christmas. I guess we were too merry. They put us in a private room. It felt like we were being punished
