This holiday-themed pop-up bar is returning to Toronto

One of the best parts about the holiday season in Toronto is the festive-themed F&B offerings. We’ve got colourful cocktails, unique foods, pop-up events and more. Although Christmas markets are much loved, there is lots of excitement for holiday-themed bars as well. There are a couple that making their annual return, including one that’s run by a popular restaurant here in The 6ix.

Java Jingle to open for the holiday season

The pop-up bar, which is brought to Toronto by Little Sister Dutch Indo Food Bar will be operating from November 18 until the end of the first week of January. Both of its locations will be open, including 102 Portland St. and 2031 Yonge St.

Both floors of the Portland venue will be used this time around. The upstairs Balinese room will feature returning cocktails, along with new additions like a Bah Humbug menu. The physical space itself will be adorned with lights, holiday garlands and even a fireplace.
