Nashville restaurants are already ‘tis-ing the season with their Christmas holiday pop-ups. Here are six of our favorites, from gingerbread distilleries to “Christmas Vacation” homages.
This Jefferson Street bar and restaurant is absolutely decked out in Christmas ornaments and lights, both inside and outside on its patio. Grab a Santa Jessica Parker cocktail and enjoy the decor in the restaurant’s historic 1889 building. You better nab a reservation fast; they go quick!
You’ll have to wait a bit longer for this pizza favorite in The Nations to get gussied up in its finest holiday garb. St. Nicky’s launches on Nov. 24, and this year’s theme is all ‘90s. I take my family every year; it’s one of our holiday traditions!
Enter a life-sized gingerbread distillery at downtown’s JW Marriott for holiday drinks like the Polar Espresso, The Gingerbread Mule, and the Not My Gumdrop Buttons! Here’s a sneak peek inside; tickets are $25 a person.
Santa’s Boondock returns to this speakeasy-style dive bar in East Nashville where you can celebrate the season with taxidermy critters, dartboards, and pool tables decked out in holiday lights. Holiday-themed drinks include the Frosty Nog, Peppermint Wish, and a classic Hot Toddy.
This year, ENBW is trading out its “Home Alone” decor from previous years for a “Christmas Vacation”-themed holiday pop-up. Clark’s Cheer Works will open Nov. 19, and you can frequently find a City Cast Nashville team member there enjoying a cold one.
Germantown’s Le Loup restaurant and bar transforms into an après-ski hideaway for its Alpine House holiday pop-up, which starts Dec. 3. Expect cozy decor and wintry cocktails.
