Looking for a festive place to “eat, drink and be merry” that still feels like a neighborhood hangout? This holiday season, Grassroots & Vine will transform into a Christmas pop-up bar and experience.  The concept, Making Spirits Bright, will take over the full-service bar and spread into the tasting room and onto the patio.  Sip on festive cocktails served in Santa mugs beneath Christmas lights, tinsel, garland, baubles galore and non-stop Christmas music.

The Christmas experience will take on a nostalgic, retro, mid-century modern but cozy feel.  There will be tons of photo opportunities, games and events throughout the month of December. You will feel right at home for the holidays!

Making Spirits Bright will open on Small Business Saturday, November 30th and run through Tuesday, December 31st with a New Year’s Eve party.  Hours will coincide with Grassroots & Vine’s business hours: Tuesday-Thursday 10 a.m. -10 p.m., Friday-Saturday 10 a.m. – 11 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.  The bar and restaurant will offer a festive menu of Christmas cocktails and snacks, as well as, their everyday lunch, dinner and beverage items, including CAKE, cookies, coffee, cider and hot chocolate.

Grassroots & Vine will tie-in between drink sales and the Emergency Shelter of Northern Kentucky by donating a percentage of all Christmas themed cocktail sales for the month of December.  The Christmas cocktails menu will include drinks like Santa Clausmopolitan, A Kentucky Christmas, Chai Hot Toddy, Nice and Naughty Shots, just to name a few!

Making Spirits Bright at Grassroots & Vine is also available for private and semi-private holiday parties with in-house menu options.  Email barb@grassrootsandvine.com today to reserve your holiday spirit!
