NH's Only Christmas Pop-Up Bar is Coming Back to Portsmouth

Now that Halloween is behind us, you have full permission to go Jingle Bells to the wall and activate full on Christmas mode! We just had daylight saving time, it's pitch black outside by 4:30 pm. Who is going to object to some early holiday cheer? Certainly not this gal.

The Goat Bar and Grill recently announced on social media that they are bring back Miracle at the Goat which is a pop up Christmas bar they had at their Portsmouth location last year.

It is described at as an immersive Christmas extravaganza. Think floor to ceiling twinkly lights and decor, photo ops, tasty Christmas themed food and drinks, and full on festive FUN.

Even Tay Tay got involved last year...

Upon further investigation, that photo was taken at the same Christmas Pop up in Kansas City, not New Hampshire, but who knows what this year will bring?

And GET THIS, this year Miracle at the Goat will also be at their Newburyport location:

I know you probably have lots of questions, and I have some answers. Here are some frequently asked questions in the comments:

When does Miracle at the Goat open?

Newburyport will open on 11/20 and Portsmouth opens on 11/27

Will it stay open past the first of the year?

YES! Newburyport will be open until 1/13 and Portsmouth will be open until 1/16. (I love this because the actual holiday season can be so hectic for folks, the fact that it's open a few weeks past New Years gives more people a chance to experience the joy and wonder)

Can I make a reservation?

This experience is first come first serve, no reservations even for large groups.

Will there be Christmas music playing?

But of course!

Will there be special events once the pop up is up and running?

YES! Mark these dates on your calendar:
Ugly sweater party (both locations) 12/10
Santa Brunch: Portsmouth 12/14 11-1pm, Newburyport 12/15 11-1pm

Both locations will be open Thanksgiving and Christmas at 4pm

Will the Manchester location be involved?

Yes! Dates coming soon!

Assemble the group chat, alert your most festive friends and get ready to experience New Hampshire's first and only pop up Christmas bar!
