Pacific Cocktail Haven is returning to SF for its 9th year from Nov. 29 through Dec. 31, 2024. This sparkling holiday pop-up bar is a San Francisco favorite this time of year, as it offers up the best in seasonal cocktails, festive photo ops, and holiday cheer.
The holiday bar transports guests to an over-the-top Christmas explosion outfitted with thousands of colorful lights, wrapping paper decorations, garlands, ornaments, bows, frills, glowing trees, Santa hats, and a huge stack of presents. Festive attire is absolutely non-negotiable here, so make sure you dress to impress.
Sip on steaming eggnog, cider, or delicious themed cocktails from an adorable Santa mug while sharing in the Christmas spirit with your friends or family. The special holiday glassware is typically available for purchase if you want to take some holiday cheer back with you.
While details for 2024 have yet to be released, you can typically expect warm rum, almond milk eggnog, eggnog with peanut butter cognac, cranberry cosmos, mulled wine, and more. A 2023 fan-favorite includes the “Christmas Cricket” again, with Patron Blanco Tequila, Licor 43, Branca Menthe, pandan, coconut, and bitters. Past years’ holiday cocktails have included Miracle’s on Dasher with gin, vanilla liqueur, and marshmallow, and Elfing Around, with prosecco, gin, mulled wine, grapefruit shrub, and bitters. As always, you can expect some pretty great cocktails at the award-winning bar.
Miracle at Pacific Cocktail Haven opens on Friday, November 29th, and will operate from Tuesday through Saturday.. Only guests 21+ can enter with a government ID, and there is usually a $10 cover at the door. This pop-up is first-come, first-serve, and we recommend leaving extra time as there is often a line.
Pacific Cocktail Haven has been an SF favorite for years, and it’s not uncommon to see it winning awards for craft cocktails and expert bartenders. The bar is sleek and elegant, and it’s exciting to see it dressed up for the holidays (and try some themed drinks).
Miracle at PCH is located just a block away from Union Square’s Winter Wander-Land, which includes the holiday ice rink, festive decorations, and special events. Make a day of it with our Union Square Holiday Guide.
