If you’re not quite in the holiday spirit this year, you can at least get into holiday spirits at the Miracle Bar, a festive Christmas-themed pop-up inside Avanti Food & Beverage at 3200 Pecos Street. Sip cocktails like the Run Run Rudolph, Santa’s Bottom and the Yippie Ki Yay Mother Fucker (because Die Hard is the best Christmas movie ever made). Visit the installation through the end of 2018 at Avanti’s second-floor indoor/outdoor bar and grab sugar cookies, themed snacks and even logoed collectible cocktail glasses.

Once restaurants have been open for at least three months, they’re fair game for a restaurant review. Here’s our restaurant critic Gretchen Kurtz’s opinion of Q House, which opened at 3421 East Colfax Avenue in May.
