Miracle on Main pop-up in Columbia, SC

Polite.12.12.17_WR-0030

Once a year, some believe a man in a red suit + jolly belly flies around the world in one night to bring toys.

Well, consider this Columbia’s bag of toys because tomorrow, all over the world, Miracle Pop-up a Christmas-themed pop-up cocktail bar — will be opening its doors and welcoming festive-feeling-seekers.

Let us take a step back and get cozy while we tell you a holiday story:

Once upon a time there was a Main Street restaurant called Main Street Public House. Because of the pandemic, it had to close its doors, and citizens were left wondering what the restaurant would turn into.

That same day they heard some news that would lift their spirits with the promise of not only a new business coming soon, but a Miracle.

Starting tomorrow through Dec. 31 at 1156 Main St. from 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Soda Citizens can experience an explosion of holiday decor, lights, cocktails, themed nights, Santa sightings, and tinsel.

But what happens after December 31?

Not to worry, Starting Jan. 1, 2022, the holiday decor will come down, and 1920s decor will go up to accompany the award-winning cocktail bar expanding from Charleston, Prohibition. It will focus on customized cocktails + whiskeys.

In the end, Prohibition is coming soon, and Soda Citizens joined thousands of others all over the world in a holiday celebration in the form of a Miracle.

If you can’t make it tomorrow for the grand opening, we are going to take a first look inside of Miracle on Main + will be posting about it on our Instagram. Follow along to get a peek inside.

The End. Just kidding. Take a look at those buttons below. If you’re not a grinch, you’ll know what to do.
