It’s that time of year again, Soda City. The season of perpetual hope, holiday decor galore, and festive pop-up bars. Here are a few that you can visit until Thursday, Jan. 2.

Santa’s Pub at Publico 5 Points

With floor-to-ceiling holiday decorations, including holiday lights and giant ornaments, we’re pretty sure this pop-up came to us straight from the North Pole. Pro tip: it’s the year of Espresso, so sidle up to the Espresso to the North Pole.

Miracle at BullStreet at Publico at Bull Street

You’ll want to take plenty of elfies at this bar — err, we mean winter wonderland — that’s decked out to the nines with festive adornments. New drinks this year include the Stocking Stuffer, Christmasaurus, Crooked Antler, Santa Slide, and Koala Lalala.

Naughty at Boku Kitchen and Saloon

This Grinch-themed pop-up is complete with decor that we’re convinced came straight from Whoville. Plus, try the limited edition menu featuring festive cocktails, shooters, and bites.
