The Rockhill Grille · Crossroads
Each holiday season this Crossroads Arts District grill and bar becomes Miracle, the touring Christmas cocktail residency, with wrapping-paper-covered walls, oversized ornaments and drinks poured into collectible Santa-shaped mugs. The bar keeps its regular grill menu running in the background while the front room turns fully festive. Order a seasonal Miracle cocktail and take the mug home as a souvenir. Once the pop-up calendar wraps for the year, Rockhill Grille goes back to its everyday American grill menu and bar program.
The Campground · West Bottoms
Each winter this West Bottoms cocktail bar's outdoor patio becomes an open-air Christkindlmarkt, with local vendors and artists set up around blazing fire pits. The seasonal drink list leans German and wintry: mezcal hot chocolate, mulled Glühwein and eggnog alongside holiday treats. Order a cup of Glühwein or the mezcal hot chocolate and warm up at the fire. The market runs on a Thursday-through-Sunday schedule through the holidays before The Campground's regular cocktail bar takes back the space.
