Holiday experiences are popping-up at bars and restaurants throughout the suburbs. Here are some places to get in the Christmas spirit while maybe enjoying a holiday-themed spirit as well.

Arctic Winter Bar

Broken Oar Marina-Bar & Grill in Port Barrington is bringing back its seasonal pop-up Arctic Winter Bar, where you can feel like you’re in a winter wonderland but still be warm while enjoying a cocktail.

Guests can enjoy seasonal sips from a drink menu that features a Winter White Russian, Jingle Juice and the Jack Frost, with blueberry vodka, blue Curacao and Sprite. Wintery martinis include the SnowBall, Peppermintini and the Clausmopolitan.

A lineup of live music hits the Oar Stage every Thursday through Sunday, and the 3,000-square-foot heated Broken Barn on the river has been added to the mix through New Year’s Eve.

The Arctic Winter Bar is open from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Thursday and Friday, and 1 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. It’s 21-and-older only after 10 p.m. Entry is $10 and tickets are available at TicketLeap.

Captain Santa’s Pop-Up Bar

Inspired by a turn-of-the-20th-century boat captain who delivered Christmas trees to families in need, Captain Santa’s Pop-Up Bar opens Thursday, Dec. 4, in Port Barrington.

The seasonal holiday experience at Pier 91, 99 Kazimour Drive, transforms more than 4,000 square feet of event space into an immersive Christmas wonderland with festive food and drinks, holiday decor and themed entertainment. Captain Santa’s offers family-friendly fun by day, while catering to adults at night.

The concept was inspired by Captain Herman “Captain Santa” Schuenemann, skipper of what was known as the Christmas Tree Ship. Each December in the early 1900s, Schuenemann sailed from northern Wisconsin to Chicago. He loaded his ship with evergreens for needy families along the Great Lakes, earning him his nickname.

General admission tickets are available for $10 and include a complimentary welcome drink in a keepsake glass. You can pop in to the pop-up Thursdays through Sundays until Jan. 4.
