The Best Holiday Pop-Up Bars in Pittsburgh
We’re getting into the holiday spirits with Pittsburgh’s best, newest, and most over-the-top holiday pop-up bars. From South Side to Blawnox and especially Downtown, there’s no shortage of Christmas and winter-themed cocktails and watering holes this year. So grab your puffy coat, your silliest sweater, and maybe your rain boots – we’re going out with Discover the Burgh’s Jeremy Jones to check them all out.
Plus, if you want to double check the opening dates or hours on any of the pop-ups we mentioned, check out our list of holiday bars all around the city.
