Brewsters brings the Miracle Christmas bar pop-up to the North Bay. Expect a ceiling strung up with dangling Santa Clauses, an overabundance of tinsel, and gift wrapped everything. The menu of holiday-themed drinks ranges from Jolly Koala (bourbon, cacao nib aperitif, mulled wine reduction, and mole bitters) to the Grinch’s Grog (rum, peppermint, hot chocolate).

Gather ’round a barrel and raise a toast to the season at this no-frills East Bay bar. The back patio is always a stunner with its old-growth Redwood canopy, but for the special season there are also twinkling multi-colored lights, glittering icicles, and a glowing Santa in his sleigh perched on the roof.

North Beach’s Hungry 1 has transformed into Deck the Halls Bar, a holiday pop-up that runs through Christmas Day. There are wrapping paper-covered walls, lots of lights, and multiple Christmas trees to gawk at — plus Krumpus shots, which combine stout, egg, sherry, rum, agave, and the ever-important festive ingredient: fire.

It’s Tinsel Time at Trade Routes, a new-ish bar on Polk, which means that now through January 9 you can swing through for holiday-themed drinks, holiday music, and lots and lots of lights. The special menu includes cocktails like the Cheeky Cheer (vodka, chartreuse, and lemon) or shareable punch bowls for four festive drinkers.

The historic Fairmont Hotel always does it big for the holidays — and we mean that literally. The hotel has a 22-foot-high, 23-foot-wide two-story Victorian gingerbread house on display made from “thousands of bricks, a ton of royal icing, and candy décor,” according to the hotel’s website. It’s on show though the holiday season and if you want to really soak it all in, you can even book a reservation to dine inside.

Feast on Dungeness crab at the bay-view seafood restaurant, and also visit Jack Skellington at Waterbar’s somewhat dark, twisted, and non-traditional gingerbread house display, which draws inspiration from Nightmare Before Christmas.

New York City–born holiday pop-up Miracle returns to Pacific Cocktail Haven once again — though take note that the bar has relocated to its new home just up the street. Expect over-the-top holiday decor and cocktails served in Santa head-shaped mugs. It’s a first-come, first-served basis only.

Kona’s Street Market feels pretty festival all year ’round thanks to its glowing marquee and strings of lights. But through the holiday season, it’s taking things up a notch with the tropical-themed Sippin’ Santa pop-up. Extra lights and tons of tinsel add to the cheer, plus there’s annual menu of rum-filled festive cocktails. There’s a $10 cover (cash only) and it’s walk-ins only.

If you’re lean more Grinch than Cindy Lou Who then perhaps the Villain Village at Fortuna Lounge, the bar on the second floor of massive new arcade bar Thriller Social Club, is more your holiday speed. The “bad Christmas” decor includes homages to the notorious Wet Bandits of Home Alone fame and Jack Skellington from the Nightmare Before Christmas.

You could justly call this Parkside cocktail spot a hidden gem but during the holidays it’ll be hard to miss the glow of the Christmas lights. There’s even a flying Santa and a “snow” machine that throws foam into the air to fulfill all your white Christmas dreams. The bar recently launched a new cocktail menu, plus there are food options including birria tacos on fresh tortillas, a mushroom risotto, and burgers made with wagyu that’s ground on-site.

Enjoy all the glorious warmth of an aprés ski village without having to endure any frigid temps at the Four Seasons Hotel in Silicon Valley. They’ve once again transformed the Quattro Terrace and other outdoor locations at the hotel with mini-chalets, lights, cozy fires, and a life-size snow globe that’s just perfect for photo opps. The menu is meant to stick-to-your ribs with options like fondue, French onion soup, and poutine — plus, signature s’mores and hot beverages.

It’s a very tiki Christmas at San Jose’s 55 South, complete with Santa in sunglasses and festive cocktails served with the requisite tiny umbrella.
