It’s the holiday season. And while you’re hanging decorations, buying presents, and feeling festive, a few local bars are getting into the spirit too. This year, Santa has gifted Cowtown with several holiday pop-up bars where you can drink and be merry through the end of the year.

Holiday Pop-Up, Brewed
The popular Magnolia eatery has been transformed into a winter wonderland with limited-edition menu items, holiday cocktails, and roasted marshmallows.

Sippin’ Santa, The Down ‘n Out
The Near Southside bar has been transformed into a tiki Christmas pop-up with special menus, cocktails, and special Sippin’ glassware that will be for sale as the perfect holiday gift.

Holly Jolly Bar, Third Rail
Head to Grapevine — aka the Christmas Capital of Texas — for a free holiday pop-up inside Harvest Hall.
