Miracle Holiday Pop-Up Bar Coming

Miracle, a nationwide, holiday-themed, pop-up cocktail bar, will be coming to Memphis the Friday after Thanksgiving and will run through New Year’s Eve. It will be operating out of Civil Pour at 409 S. Main.

From the press release:

The concept for Miracle was born five years ago, when upon the advice of his mother, Greg Boehm decided to halt construction of what was to be his new East Village cocktail bar Mace to transform the unfinished space into a pop-up bar serving holiday-themed drinks among festive décor. As crowds swarmed the NYC location, Boehm’s friends throughout the bar industry asked how they could recreate the holiday magic in their own bars and expansion became inevitable. Over the past few years, Miracle has expanded from 4 locations to over 50 in 2017. In 2018, Miracle in conjunction with Sippin’ Santa will reach a total of over 70 locations internationally at some of the most highly revered cocktail establishments around the world.

And here’s the cocktail menu:

Spring Forward!

Life stands before me like an eternal spring with new and brilliant clothes. — Carl Friedrich Gauss

At last, it’s spring! Florals make their expected appearance in pastel and dark patterns but share the spotlight with other graphic patterns, gold tones, and lots of fringe detail. South Main Memphis resident Leah-Claire Friddle Grawemeyer (and a couple of those close to her) show their personal and favorite mixes of the upcoming spring trends.

A softer approach to color works wonderfully in outfits for a day out, while darker florals or black with gold tones are dramatic statements for evening looks.

Local designers Tara Skelley of Dilettante Collection and Lauren Carlson of Question the Answer explore pastels in their latest collections, with a palette of muted coral, pink, and turquoise. Leah sees her spring wardrobe filled with plenty of white and beige with just a few pops of color. The overall mood is warm, carefree, and as blissful — as spring should be.
