Mercury Omaha
Mercury is one of our favorite bars in Omaha, Nebraska! They always have great and fun cocktails throughout the year, they are super creative and make themed cocktails a favorite for us to visit!
Their Christmas Pop Up Bar cocktails are beyond excellent, and the theme is Don’t Stop Believing! Many choices, to fit all tastes, from whisky, gin, rim, tequila, vodka and cognac! Great holiday drinks with fun names like Mama Said Nog You Out (rum, black walnut, cream, almond and eggnog), and Sugar Plum Fairy (Sugar plum infused gin, vanilla, allspice, lemon, meringue cookie).
They also have zero proof cocktails like the Sweet Potato Casserole (yams, toasted marshmallow, dates, cream and egg white). So choices for everyone!
Mercury’s hours are everyday from 4 pm-midnight. Kitchen is open until last call. 329 S 16th St #3
Holiday Hut at the Cottonwood Hotel
Ring in the holiday season with craft cocktails and spirited cheer at the Holiday Hut! Through December 31, their hours are Thursdays and Sunday 5-10 pm, Fridays and Saturdays 5-11. This Christmas themed pop up is located in the Cottonwood Hotel’s pool house! 302 S 36th Street, in the Blackstone district.
No reservations needed, but make sure to come and enjoy the spirit of the decor and cocktails!
When we went it did fill up fast, almost as soon as they opened, so plan for that! You have to enter through the main part of the hotel, and then through the pool deck to the pool house, there isn’t a back way in.
In 2022 the cocktails they offered at this Christmas Pop Up Bar were part of a small seasonal offering. From creamier drinks like the Peppermint Espresso Martini, Jingle Bell Nog and the Rum Rum Rudolph. Other offerings are a seasonal margarita, mule and a chestnut old fashioned. We haven’t checked it out yet this year, we will update when we know more!
Make sure to get out to this fun and festive event! And let us know what they have for cocktails!

Miracle Pop Up Bar
Miracle Pop Up Bar is an event that happens all over the country, and many bars participate!
Miracle serves holiday cocktails in a festive setting. Combine kitschy holiday décor with cocktails, and Miracle is sure to get even the Grinch into the holiday spirit with spirits!
The concept of Miracle started in 2014 from the advice of his mother, Greg Boehm halted construction on what was to be his new East Village cocktail bar called Mace and changed the unfinished space into a pop up bar serving holiday themed drinks with over the top Christmas decor. Boehm’s friends asked how they could recreate the holiday magic in their own bars.
In 2015 Miracle started 4 locations and in 2016, it went worldwide with pop ups in Greece, Montreal and Paris. Currently, it’s all over the US, as well as pop ups in Canada, Europe, Asia, and Central America.
