"Philadelphia Think of this as the bar manifestation of your uncle who rocks a Christmas lights sweater at the dinner table—it's a festive sh*t show. Someone might be passed out on the holiday throne. You'll wait 10 minutes for a drink that contains more sugar than alcohol. Club rats and retirees rip shots of butterscotch schnapps and orange juice before posing with a seven-foot Santa. Just know that nobody will be dancing, since the music consists of sleigh bell sounds over air horns. Bring cash for the $10 cover, or use the ATM next door at Finn McCools." - team infatuation

"Think of Tinsel in Midtown Village as the bar manifestation of your drunk uncle who rocks a Christmas lights sweater at the dinner table—it's a festive sh*t show. Someone might be passed out in the holiday throne. You'll wait 10 minutes for a drink that contains more sugar than alcohol. Club rats and retirees from Charleston rip shots of butterscotch schnapps and orange juice before posing with a seven-foot Santa cut-out. Just know nobody will be dancing at this Christmas pop-up bar, since the music consists of random sleigh bell sounds over air horns. Bring cash for the $10 cover charge or use the ATM next door at Finn McCools." - Candis R. McLean
"Tinsel is a pop-up you might already be familiar with. It appears in Midtown Village every December with twinkling lights, elves, and spiked eggnog. This summer, though, Tinsel is taking over the space outside Finn McCool’s and doing Christmas in July. There are decorated palm trees, a Christmas music soundtrack, and lots of Grinch-themed boozy ice pops. To make a reservation, call Finn’s at 215-923-3090." - sydney mcelwee
"The theme is the North Pole and Santa’s workshop, though Mr. and Mrs. Claus likely don’t have a 33-foot long bar and ceramic souvenir mugs filled with cocktails like the Gingerbread Man with bourbon, ginger beer, and cinnamon syrup or hot chocolate spiked with peanut butter whiskey." - Rachel Vigoda
