Are you ready for some holiday cheer? Miracle®, the beloved Christmas pop-up bar launched in New York City, is returning to Louisville! The popular concept kicks off the day after Thanksgiving, Friday, November 29 at the Green Building, 732 E. Market St. Due to last year’s popularity, the pop-up will extend its operation to New Year’s Eve (in prior years the pop-up bar closed on Christmas Eve). Miracle® will be open 5 p.m. - midnight Tuesday through Thursday and 5 p.m. - 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. The pop-up is operated by the team behind Galaxie.

Tired of turkey and awkward conversation? Gather your family and friends and head to NuLu to see the Miracle® bar elves at work. This year’s cocktail menu has new drinks like the SanTaRex (Rye Whiskey, Oloroso Sherry, Spiced Apple Cider, Lemon Juice, Hard Cider, and Baked Apple Bitters) and old favorites like a Run Run Rudolph (Prosecco, Gin, Mulled Wine Puree, Lemon, Cane Syrup).

Every Sunday night, Miracle® will screen classic Christmas movies like Home Alone and Elf. On Wednesday nights, sing your favorite yuletide carol during Miracle® karaoke. The “halls” of the Green Building will be decked in kitschy Christmas splendor with plenty of lights, garlands, ribbons and tchotchkes. And just because you’re having a drink doesn’t mean you can’t get your holiday shopping done as well. Miracle® themed cocktail glassware is also available for sale! Pick up a set of Santa mugs, a Christmas Carol Barrel, and more.

On Monday, December 2, grab your favorite ugly sweater for the “World’s Largest Ugly Sweater Christmas Party” taking place at Miracle® across the country including the Louisville pop-up.

“This is our third year operating Louisville’s Miracle® pop-up and we are thrilled that the concept has become so popular in this city,” said Thor Morgan, Miracle® Louisville partner. “We’ve extended the pop-up all the way to New Year’s Eve so that coworkers, friends, or family can gather for a fun night-out during the entire holiday season.”

In addition, Miracle® is available for holiday party rentals. Groups can enjoy the full cocktail menu along with holiday appetizers. Throw a holiday party your team will still be talking about in June! For information on how to book your holiday event contact MiracleOnMarket@gmail.com. 

The concept for Miracle® was born five years ago, when upon the advice of his mother, Greg Boehm decided to halt construction of what was to be his new East Village cocktail bar called Mace and transformed the unfinished space into a pop-up bar serving holiday-themed drinks among festive décor. As crowds swarmed the NYC location, Boehm’s friends throughout the bar industry asked how they could recreate the holiday magic on their own turf and expansion became inevitable. This year, Miracle reaches new holiday heights as an internationally recognized brand with over 90 locations.
