The spirit of the season is doubled once again this year as both the famed Christmas-themed Miracle and Sippin’ Santa pop-up bars return to Milwaukee.

Pufferfish, the tropical oasis on the rooftop of Hotel Metro at 411 E. Mason St. will host the Sippin’ Santa bar for the second year. Meanwhile, Tin Widow will bring the magic of the Miracle pop-up back to 703. S. 2nd St. for the fifth time.

PufferFish will launch their Sippin’ Santa festivities beginning Wednesday, Nov. 20, and will continue the celebration through the end of December.

To add to the experience, the PufferFish team has developed a secondary bar experience inside their space called "The FishTank".

“The fires are on, the space heaters are rolling, and both indoor spaces will be rocking drinks to create a really cozy rooftop vibe,” says Owner JC Cunningham. “There are a ton of new drinks, and new glassware for everyone to purchase, which will make great holiday additions to any home bar.”

“The team over at Tin Widow steps it up every year,” says Cunningham. “We are really excited to partner with them again and turn our little rooftop escape into a winter wonderland.”

In addition, the Presidential Room at Hotel Metro will be converted into The Santa Suite. This experience will offer holiday decorations, mini drinks from PufferFish, Christmas cookies, turndown service and much more. To book, visit hotelmetro.com .
