Ready to have a hoppy holiday, COLA? Celebrate the magic of the season at The Venue‘s pop up bar, Home for the Holidays with Chip Hopkins, happening tonight at 8 p.m.

Listen to live festive tunes while sipping holiday-themed cocktails and savoring delish dishes.

Can’t make it out tonight? The good times are jingling through Dec. 31 (every Thursday-Sunday from 7 to 10 p.m.), so there’s still time to get in on the fun.
