Celebrate the holiday season with immersive pop-up bars decked out with real fireplaces and fake snow and serving up delicious cocktails.
Holiday pop-ups have taken over some of L.A.’s favorite bars and other venues, including Frosty’s Christmas Bar in Hollywood.Like Spirit Halloween stores, Christmas-themed pop-up bars are a ubiquitous part of the holiday season, except instead of getting spooked by animatronic ghouls and 12-foot-tall skeletons, you get to cozy up next to real fireplaces, sit at tables covered with faux snow and sip cocktails garnished with candy canes.
Curl up next to the tromp l’oeil fireplace with a craft cocktail rimmed with crushed candy canes, such as the North Pole Express-O or Rudolf the Raspberry Reindeer , but restrain yourself from opening the presents because there’s nothing inside them. On Fridays and Saturdays, DJs lure attendees onto the dance floor to boogie beneath a ceiling glittering with hanging ornaments, peppermint swirls and disco balls.
A holiday playlist will soften even the coldest of hearts. However, if that doesn’t do the trick, bartenders wearing ugly Christmas sweaters will be slinging hot cocktails, including Here’s Johnny in addition to classic cold drinks and mocktails. Keep an eye out for the Grinch, who’s been known to make appearances. There’s also a menorahthat will be lighted for each of the eight nights of Hanukkah.
The seasonal menu includes maple-roasted butternut squash and pumpkin meringue pie as well as 10 cocktails, such as the pecan- and coconut-tinged Son of a Nutcracker. Partake in the restaurant’s Holiday Punch Card challenge, which comes with a $25 gift card and your choice of Joyce merch, for anyone who orders all 10 holiday cocktails before Jan. 1.
