The holiday season is here. And while you’re hanging decorations, buying presents, and feeling festive, a few local bars are decking their halls too. This year, Santa has gifted Asheville with five holiday pop-up bars where you can drink and be merry.
Miracle Pop-Up at Golden Pineapple | Opens Friday, Nov. 21
Bask in the glow of the colored lights while you try delicious seasonal cocktails in over-the-top drinkware — like the coffee and chai-spiced “Rudolph’s Replacement,” served in a festive dinosaur glass.
Sippin’ Santa at The Tiki Easy Bar | Opened Wednesday, Nov. 19
The city’s tropical speakeasy has gotten its annual holiday makeover, and its cocktail menu is just as festive. Drinks like the Sugar Plum Mai Tai are the perfect blend of jolly and beachy.
Humbug Hideout at Wicked Weed Brewpub | Opened Wednesday, Nov. 19
Head to the taproom’s downstairs bar for vibrant holiday decor and lights — plus, lots of special drinks to have you feeling merry and bright.
Rudolph’s Rooftop at Pillar Rooftop Bar | Opens Wednesday, Nov. 26
During the ticketed Great Hall Feast, the bar will transform from the fantastical Wizard’s Landing into a North Pole-inspired oasis.
A Very Perri Christmas at Peri Social House | Opens Friday, Nov. 28
The Black Mountain boutique hotel is kicking off the season by lighting what they believe is the tallest lit tree in NC. The festivities continue all month long as the bar hosts all sorts of holiday happenings.
