What’s your favorite festive flick? Home Alone? A Christmas Story? National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation? There’s so many good ones we could go on forever, but no matter what movie makes you feel merry, find something that jingles your bells at Flanker Kitchen + Sports Bar’s limited-time holiday pop-up, A Christmas Parlor.
Crossing the threshold into the high-end sports bar feels like walking into a winter wonderland as the casino noise fades to seasonal sounds and the highly decorated space creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere with plenty of pop culture references to spot.
Order light bites like the oh-so-adorable reindeer charcuterie board featuring pickled cranberry, honey, cured meats and a delicious sharp white cheddar. For a warm bite, order the jumbo holiday wings with a sweet and spicy cranberry chili glaze and rosemary, the perfect combination of winter flavors.
Don’t miss the film-themed cocktail menu with delicious drinks like Clark’s Holiday Shenanigans, a super-sweet combination of tequila, espresso, dulce de leche and toasted coconut, all served in the cutest Christmas tree cup you’ve ever seen. For something more spirit-forward, sip the Cool Yule, with El Tesoro reposado, spiced apple syrup, lime juice, cranberries and a float of mezcal for a bit of smokiness.
Dessert is nearly unskippable here as the s’mores platter offers an incredibly fun, make-it-your-way experience, and the eggnog milkshake features fabulous holiday flavors with cinnamon Chantilly and peppermint bark.
