Straight Out of Santa’s Workshop
At UP on the Roof, we want to give you an immersive experience, and Elf’d UP is not subtle when it comes to holiday cheer! We go bold, we go bright, and we go colorful. Everywhere you look, you’ll find giant, shiny ornaments, glimmering garlands and Christmas decor tucked into unexpected places. This year’s experience promises a chaotically cheerful atmosphere for anyone who loves the holidays done big. It’s whimsical, fun and almost as if it’s right out of a holiday movie scene. You’ll find Instagram-worthy spots at every corner, perfect to show off your obnoxious Christmas sweater or snap that hilarious group shot that you’ll all remember for years to come.
Themed Drinks for Everyone
During the holiday season, we must raise our glasses to celebrate. That’s why we have curated a cocktail list with drinks inspired by eggnog, candy canes and hot cocoa. You’ll find Santa approved sips with fun holiday names like Partridge in a Pear Tree, Son of a Nutcracker (we love an Elf movie reference) and Rum, Rum Rudolph.
There are Tipsy hot chocolates topped with whipped cream, Amarena cherry or toasted marshmallow. And for those who want to opt for a non-alcoholic choice, we invite them to check out our Ebenezer’s Zero Proof Elixirs, perfect for keeping this Santa season merry and mindful. .
Scrooge’s Snacks and Mistletoe Munchies
Our Elf’d UP pop-up menu is full of tasty bites to keep you going all night. From grilled shrimp tacos and an artisan charcuterie board to honey-soy-glazed chicken in a lettuce wrap and nachos topped with queso, meat, tomato, and jalapeno, there are plenty of savory dishes to choose from and share with your group.
Sweet Tinsel Treats
Pretty is the name, and tasty is the game. Our Elf’d UP pop-up bar is as much fun decor as it is filled with delicious food and drink choices. So, it’s no wonder that we wanted to include irresistible desserts in the mix. Go traditional with Let’s Give ‘Em Pumpkin To Talk About, a spiced-up choice with gingerbread cake, pumpkin mascarpone cream, and espresso-rum syrup. Or go decadent with I Like You a Chocolate: a rich white and milk terrine with Disaronno amaretto, crème anglaise and raspberry coulis.
