Miracle on Nine Mile
Global holiday pop-up bar Miracle makes a stop this season at The Oakland in Ferndale from Nov. 23 through Dec. 30.
Miracle at The Oakland will feature a holiday wonderland with kitschy decor and a cocktail menu of themed libations to get you into the spirit. Selections include the Christmapolitan, Christmas Carol Barrel, Snowball Old-Fashioned, Holiday Spiked Chai, and Grandma Got Run Over by a T-Rex.
The concept began in 2014, when New York bar owner Greg Boehm halted construction on what was supposed to be a new cocktail bar and transformed the unfinished space into a pop-up with holiday-inspired drinks and over-the-top Christmas decorations. The idea took off from there, and Miracle pop-ups now annually take over watering holes across the U.S. as well as Canada, Europe, Asia, and Central America.
