Before Boilermaker’s Greg Boehm and Zach Sharaga (Louis 649) opens their next East Village bar, Mace, the duo is throwing a month-long Christmas party inside it. Debuting on Saturday Nov 29, the spirited pop-up Miracle on 9th Street will serve holiday-themed cocktails courtesy of Nico de Soto (Experimental Cocktail Club).
That means you can order The Grinch (rum, coconut butter) and Three Wise Men (Calvados, frankincense) in a hideaway decked out with kitschy decorations you’d find in your grandparents’ wood-paneled basement, including tinsel garlands, plaid table cloths and glittery globe ornaments. In addition to enough Christmas and Hanukkkah garb to put the Griswolds to shame, the bar also offers light snacks just like mom used to make (think Santa’s cookies—coyly paired with a shot of milk punch—and Chex mix).
The bar’s hours are Monday through Wednesday 5pm–1am, Thursday and Friday 5pm–4am, Saturday 4pm–4am and Sunday 4pm–1am and its doors will be open through December 23, when we assume Boehm will be back to building his forthcoming bar.
