After one of the snowiest days in Chicago’s history, there’s no doubt about it—winter is finally here. One of the best parts of winter in Chicago is the holiday pop-up bars, and this year, a brand-new one is debuting in the West Loop.
Snowed Inn: A Christmas Bar Experience is taking over Time Out Market Chicago’s rooftop bar through December 30. Glittering lights illuminate the space overlooking the city, as holiday classics set the vibe for a wonderful wintertime experience.
RECOMMENDED: The best Chicago bars—the essential spots, ranked
Sip on festive drinks like Santa’s Naughty Nightcap (tequila, orange juice, cranberry and ginger beer), Rudolph’s Red-Nosed Refresher (whiskey, cherry, maple and bitters), The Mistletoe Mojito (rum, mint, cherry, lime and glitter) and Winter’s Kiss (vodka, mint liqueur, crème de cacao and rosemary).
For those who are looking to beat the chill, opt for the Boozy Hot Coco Flight, which features four steaming versions of hot chocolate: peppermint, cherry-raspberry, spicy and coffee.
The best part? There is no cover, and tickets or reservations aren’t required. The pop-up opens at 4pm Monday through Friday and at 11am on Saturday and Sunday.
