We checked the list twice – The Naughty List is a festive pop-up bar at Umbra brimming with the North Pole’s rarest spirits. Sip on spiced rum from the Caribbean, eggnog-infused bourbon straight from Kentucky, and elven-distilled gin that’ll make your holiday lights twinkle. Enjoy mulled cider so strong it could thaw the frostiest snowman.

Step inside for a magical evening of holiday cocktails and yuletide cheer, straight from Santa’s secret stash!

Follow us for updates @umbraminneapolis on Instagram for updates as we near the season.

Umbra is located in Downtown Minneapolis inside of the Canopy by Hilton Hotel. This is an ongoing daily event with a spirited bar area crafted for the holiday season. Reservations are not required to enjoy this pop-up bar. Bar and lounge seating is first come, first serve.

An RSVP to this Eventbrite is not a restaurant reservation.

Umbra does offer restaurant reservations, in which you can still enjoy our crafted holiday cocktails. Reservation for Umbra table service can be made here.
