It’s time to dig out that ugly sweater and put on your holiday best!
The Banks is ready to revive your holiday spirit with 12 Drinks of Christmas. This festive bar crawl features drink specials at AC Upper Deck, The Filson, Fishbowl at The Banks, Holy Grail, Jefferson Social, Killer Queen, Moerlein Lager House, Nation, The Park, Red Leprechaun, The Stretch, and Tin Roof.
“12 Drinks of Christmas at The Banks isn't just a bar crawl – it's an interactive holiday experience!,” says Saijal Andreadis Ryan, marketing director, with 4 Entertainment Group, LLC. “Inspired by the classic ‘12 Days of Christmas’ carol, the bar crawl spans 12 bars and restaurants. Guests can expect special surprises, including appearances by Mr. and Mrs. Claus, and a live caroling performance by the Young Professionals Choral Collective.”
Each venue will offer an array of holiday drink specials including cocktails, beers, ciders, and shots, along with food at select locations. Guests can enjoy their beverages both indoors and outdoors within the Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA) district, allowing for a seasonal, open-air experience.
“There are 12 stops on the bar crawl, offering over 30 holiday drinks!” says Andreadis Ryan. “My personal favorite cocktail is ‘Santa's Cookies’ at Killer Queen. It’s Tito's Vodka, triple sec, cookie butter syrup, and cream. To top it all off, it’s garnished with a bite-sized cookie for the perfect festive touch!”
As a part of The Banks’ effort to give back to the community during the holiday season, the first 100 attendees to bring a new, unwrapped toy for Holden Hands will receive a souvenir cup.
“Holden Hands takes a hands-on approach to giving back, hosting toy drives benefiting local youth and community groups,” says Andreadis Ryan. “We’re honored to support their impactful mission during the most wonderful time of the year!”
The party doesn’t stop at 9 p.m., though as guests are invited to stick around for the late-night ugly sweater party, which goes until the bars close at until 2 a.m.
