…’Twas the Nite transforms Boone & Crockett into Milwaukee’s most inviting holiday pop-up bar - complete with crackling fires, festive cocktails, hot food, and cozy outdoor spaces built for lingering under the lights. Whether you’re searching for a Christmas pop-up bar in Milwaukee, a seasonal night out with friends, or a place to warm up with a crafted holiday drink and something delicious to eat, this riverside patio celebration delivers the city’s favorite cold-weather gathering spot.
HOLIDAY COCKTAILS
From cookie-inspired cold cocktails and spiked hot chocolate to zero-proof elf-approved sippers, our menu leans cozy, decadent, and fun. Expect thoughtful flavors and midwest holiday-bar vibes for everyone on the naughty and nice lists.
HOT FOOD
Warm up with hot food from Taco Moto and South Water Snacks. From street-style tacos to cozy comfort bites, there’s always something warm and flavorful to pair with your drink. Grab a plate, find a fire pit, and turn it into a full night out—not just a quick stop for a cocktail.
MUSIC BY THE RIVER
Holiday playlists and special events soundtrack the night while the Kinnickinnic River glows beside you. Sip, sway, and sing along under twinkle lights, with room to toast friends, snap photos, and take in the city’s most festive waterfront views.
WARM FIRES
Gather around crackling fire pits with mittens wrapped around hot mugs, layered blankets, and good company. Outdoor heaters and open flames keep the chill at bay so you can linger late, swap stories, and watch the sparks and snow mix in the night air.
BOONE AND CROCKETT PATIO
Set on Boone & Crockett’s iconic riverside patio, ’Twas the Nite mixes craft cocktails, food-truck eats, and postcard views of Milwaukee. It’s your outdoor holiday bar on the waterfront—no long drive north, just serious winter-cabin energy and even better drinks.
