Santa’s Tap Room
The Brass Tap at Lakeside Village has transformed into a festive getaway for the first time. Sip cocktails like the Poinsettia Smash under the twinkling lights, and stop in during the 12 Days of Tappings to try a new brew every day from Friday, Dec. 13 to Tuesday, Dec. 24.

The Tipsy Grinch
Say the password “stink, stank, stunk” to access this hidden bar at CJ Lounge, located off US Highway 98 North in the Lake Gibson area. The drink menu here is themed after “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” so come ready for who-tacular creations like the Mount Crumpit Margarita + Sour Cindy.
