Christmas and holiday pop-up bars seem to be more and more popular every year.
It’s no different here in Alabama and there are a few places that stand out from the rest. If you’re looking for a place to get into the Christmas spirit with a Christmas spirit in hand, check out these seven places across the state.
Miracle on 24th Street in Birmingham
- Location: Hold Your Horses, 112 24th Street North, Birmingham, Alabama 35203
- Hours: 4PM-12AM, Sunday-Thursday | 4PM-2AM, Friday-Saturday
- Our order: There will be some new drinks on the menu this year as Hold Your Horses has taken over the Queen’s Park building but Miracle on 24th remains. And we have it on good authority the Yippee Ki Yay Mother F****r is still on the menu.
