Uptown Express "Christmas Pop-Up Bar"
As guests step into The Uptown Express, they will be greeted by an eye-catching, hand-made Rudolph at the host stand. From there, they will journey through an enchanting main bar adorned with whimsical decorations that pay homage to beloved holiday movies. One can expect to encounter Buddy the Elf's iconic candy cane forest, as well as the mischievous Heat Miser and Snow Miser, engaging in a heated argument by the coy pond. Additionally, a 15-foot Christmas tree in Whoville will be surrounded by a chorus of singing Who's, while the Grinch lurks nearby. To the right, patrons will marvel at a stunning 10-foot facade of The Polar Express leading to a car-sized replica of the iconic train.
The immersive experience continues with a life-sized Scrooge taking flight alongside the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future. Guests can also relax in Clara's life-sized living room from The Nutcracker or immerse themselves in a dazzling Christmas Vacation with Clark Griswold and his 235,000 Christmas lights.
In addition to the festive atmosphere and enchanting decor, patrons can indulge in specially crafted cocktails inspired by memorable movie moments. Treat yourself to 'The world’s best cup of coffee' Espresso Martini or the delightful Santa’s Sangria. And for those looking to take home a piece of The Uptown Express experience, souvenirs like Candy Cane shot glasses and mugs for hot chocolate inspired by The Polar Express will be available.
Uptown Beer Garden takes pride in being a family-friendly destination, and The Uptown Express is no exception. Families are warmly welcomed to join in the nostalgic fun, enjoy specialty drinks, and embrace the heartwarming spirit of the holiday season.
