Two Holiday Pop-up Bars

Kansas City seems to have secured a spot on Santa’s nice list. This holiday season, it’s playing host to not one pop-up bar, but two. The Miracle at Rockhill (2000 Grand Blvd.) returns to the restaurant’s lounge, where guests can sip holiday-inspired craft cocktails and munch on bar bites Nov. 23 through Dec. 31 surrounded by over-the-top décor. But maybe you’d prefer to surf your way through the holidays rather than riding a sleigh. Enter Sippin’ Santa, a tiki-themed companion concept to Miracle, which will be popping up at Julep (4141 Pennsylvania Ave.) and its bar-within-a-bar, Soft Conspiracy, Nov. 25 to Dec. 31. Revelers can enjoy drinks like the Kris Kringle Colada and Hawaiian Milk Punch—Hawaiian shirts aren’t required, but they are strongly encouraged.
