Philadelphia's most popular bars are getting revamped in holiday decor just in time for the winter season.
Now that the days are shorter and the weather is colder, some Philadelphia bars have transformed into holiday-themed winter wonderlands.
The bars are decked out in twinkle lights, ornaments and are featuring seasonal drinks and menu items to celebrate the festivities.
Whether you're looking to relax after a long day of shopping or want to go out with friends, there are several options to try in the city.
Philly's popular Christmas-themed pop-up bar by Craft Concepts Group is open for the season after its Halloween run earlier this year.
The bar has new designs, extra twinkle lights, glitter, holiday music, new cocktails, custom cups and more.
Proceeds from one of this year's cocktails, the Canned Goods cocktail, made with Cruzan spiced rum, cranberry juice, Redbull, and cinnamon syrup, will help benefit a charity.
Craftsman Row redecorated its restaurant and bar space for the holiday season. The seasonal decor is set to last until January, when the restaurant is converted into a Mardi Gras pop-up bar.
Craftsman Row Saloon opened its holiday pop up bar earlier this month.
The space is decked out with more than 5,000 feet of garland, thousands of twinkling lights, ornaments and tree trimmings.
The venue's signature over-the-top milkshakes got a holiday makeover as well. Diners can try the Ugly Sweater milkshake, made with eggnog, crushed gingerbread cookies and holiday m&m's, topped with a gingerbread sandwich, holiday marshmallows and rock candy.
Center City's outdoor bar has transformed into "U-Ville," a grinch-inspired holiday pop up bar.
The space is decked out in colorful, whimsical and festive decorations for the holiday season. Uptown Beer Garden also set up a tent to keep everyone warm and dry through the season.
There will be themed cocktails, fresh new food options — including a cocktail that comes in an ornament.
Assembly transformed its rooftop lounge into a modern ski lodge-inspired pop up this season, with hot cocktails, winter ales, comfort food, themed decor, cozy blankets, blazing fire pits and more.
