Whether shaken or stirred, you can electrify your imbibing at 158 On Main’s holiday “Miracle Bar” in Mooresville. It’s so festive that after Buddy the Elf travels through the seven levels of the candy cane forest, he should run, not walk, here for his Christmas cocktail party.
This dreamy, seasonal pop-up for tasty adult beverages takes place only at select venues throughout the world. And now through Jan. 14, 158 On Main is one of only four bars in North Carolina where you can order more than a dozen special naughty and nice “Cocktail Kingdom Miracle”-crafted drinks, including Christmapolitan, Elfing Around, Christmas Cricket and Snowball Old-Fashioned. What also really sets Miracle Bar apart is the twinkly, over-the-top holiday décor.
Last year, 158 On Main first got in on this tradition.
“With no reservations, lines were long, with more than 100 people waiting to get in one night,” says Rob Grosskopf, co-owner of 158 On Main and the Dive Bar. “It’s a global Christmas cocktail phenomenon. We had people driving in from Virginia because we were the closest location.”
With locations now throughout the U.S., Europe, Central America and Asia, the Miracle Bar concept began in 2014 in New York City’s East Village. Aside from identical cocktails, no two are alike. Since then, founder Greg Boehm and his brand has Miracle pop-ups from Minneapolis to Montreal, Los Angeles to London and more. According to their website, with “the nostalgic energy of the best office party you’ve ever been to, Miracle is sure to get even the grouchiest grinch in the holiday spirit.”
As Grosskopf says, “Some people come in every week for the overall experience.”
At 158 On Main, you have a table for two hours to toast the season. Enjoy the visual feast of hundreds of colorful lights and 3,000 ornaments hanging from the ceiling while Christmas movies continually play, and a merry elf serves you. It’s a great place to get into the spirit, whether solo at the bar or with a group of friends — allowing you to snap photos in a holiday-on-steroids backdrop. Save room for some delicious heavy appetizers, including meatballs, pimento cheese, spinach dip and chips. Keepsake mugs, T-shirts and sweatshirts will be available to purchase.
New this year, 158 On Main is partnering with Southern Notions for “Santa’s House” next door at ParBlu (152 N. Main Street). With a Christmas store and tiki bar-theme, you can sip tropical cocktails while shopping locally for holiday gifts.
Check Facebook, Instagram or 158 On Main’s website for special events, including “Pancakes with Santa.” A portion of the Miracle proceeds will go to FeedNC and Toys for Tots. So, while you’re feeling jolly, you’ll also be doing good.
Even ugly Christmas sweaters are in fashion at the Miracle Bar.
158onmain.com; Miracle on Main will be open Tues-Thurs, 5 p.m.-midnight; Fri-Sat, 3 p.m.- midnight; and Sun, noon-6 p.m. Santa’s House will be open 5-11 p.m., Thurs-Sat.
Happy Holidays!
