NYC's Best Christmas Bars

Christmas bars in NYC⁠ 🎄⁠ After my post last week about NYC holiday experiences, I had a bunch of people ask about *Christmas bars* specifically. So, here are some of the best: 👇⁠ 🎅⁠ Lillie's Victorian Establishment⁠ (pictured here) - this is a sit-down restaurant with excellent cocktails (including an array of Old Fashioneds) and yummy food - and of course ornate decor!⁠ 🎅⁠ Oscar Wilde and Papillon Bistro - these are sister restaurants of Lillie's and also feature over-the-top decorations⁠ 🎅⁠ Rolf's - this is the OG Christmas bar in NYC, with thousands of lights, ornaments & icicles strung up⁠ 🎅⁠ Atop The Watermark waterfront eatery is Santa's Winter Wonderland pop-up where you can dine and drink in glass chalets while taking in epic views⁠ 🎅⁠ Miracle on 9th, Frosty's⁠, Sleyenda, Sippin’ Santa, Feliz Coctelería, and Tinseltown at Pekarna are a few pop-up holiday bars worth checking out⁠ 🎅⁠ Love the macabre? Someday Bar is hosting Krampus' Cove -imagine black Christmas trees adorned with doll heads, skulls, and skeletons, alongside other haunting decor.⁠ 🍸⁠ Note: Some of these require tickets, and, if possible, it's *always* recommended to make a reservation. If you can go on weekdays or non-peak hours, that can help with the crowds too!⁠ 😁⁠ What are your favorite NYC Christmas bars?
