Miracle Pop-Up has built a name for itself around the world by doing one thing: taking over local bars and turning them into excessively decorated, kitschy as all hell, outright overwhelming and wonderfully warming watering holes that are saturated in the spirit of the holidays.<\/p>\n

And the winter wonderland masters will be taking over The Ordinarie in Downtown Long Beach for the company’s first foray into the world of Long Beach.<\/p>\n

Birthed in 2014 as a way to briefly activate a very inactive space\u2014Greg Boehm’s unfinished bar in the East Village\u2014bartenders and the bar industry quickly took notice of what became a local cult hit. And they wanted to mimic what Boehm had done.<\/p>\n

The intricacy and damn straight over-the-top-ness of Boehm’s creation, however, proved hard to mimic and exhausting to recreate on one’s own, leading to the creation of one of the most interesting and lucrative pop-up businesses of the decade. With more than 100 locations worldwide, Miracle takes the inspiration of “Miracle on 34th Street” and moves it into bars across the country.<\/p>\n

“We’d been talking with Miracle since earlier this year and we were just hopeful we could get them into The Ordinarie,” said owner Christy Caldwell. “And, well, we did.”<\/p>\n

The selection of Christmas-inspired, curated cocktails will include three particular highlights: the Snowball Old Fashioned made with gingerbread-infused bourbon, wormwood bitters, lemon zest and served with\u2014you guessed it\u2014an actual snowball; the Christmas Carol Barrel made with rum, akvavit (an herb-centric spirit from Scandanavia), the Italian digestif amaro, pumpkin pie, Demerara syrup, lime, vanilla and Angostura bitters and lastly, SanTaRex a rye-based concoction with\u00a0 Oloroso sherry, spiced apple cider, lemon juice and baked apple bitters, all served in a giant T-Rex mug sporting a Santa hat.<\/p>\n

Miracle at The Ordinarie will formally kick off on Friday, Nov. 28 and run until last call, Dec. 24.<\/p>\n

For the entire month of December, The Ordinarie will be open 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Friday and 10:30 a.m. to 2 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. The Ordinarie will be joining with other Miracle pop ups in hosting a massive UglyChristmas Sweater Party on Monday, December 2nd, where guests are encouraged to wear the ugliest of ugly sweaters, with live music in a ridiculously over-the top Christmas-clad bar.<\/em><\/p>\n
