Before you go
Visit
Short version: book ahead, bring people, expect to leave holding a ceramic dinosaur.
Three things worth knowing.
-
Book ahead
Reservations are strongly recommended at all four locations, and each venue takes its own. December weekends go first.
-
Groups go by email
Anything over 8 (Union Station) or 12 (The Eddy) is booked by writing to the venue directly rather than online.
-
The mug is yours
Most drinks arrive in collectible ceramics, and every room sells them while supplies last.
Questions
The usual ones.
Do I need a reservation?
Reservations are strongly recommended at all four locations. Each venue runs its own booking page — Union Station, The Eddy and The Arvada Tavern — so a booking at one is not a booking at another. The Apiary Hotel’s link is coming soon.
Whether a room holds space for walk-ins is up to that venue on the night; call ahead if you’re taking the chance.
When exactly are you open?
The season runs November through December 2026. Nightly service times are set by each venue and announced closer to the season — they post first on @miracledenver.
Is there an age limit?
Denver Union Station is 21 and up for the duration of the pop-up. The Apiary Hotel, The Eddy and The Arvada Tavern set their own policies — check with the venue on the locations page before bringing anyone under 21.
Is it the same menu at all four locations?
No — there are two completely separate lists.
Union Station, The Apiary Hotel and The Eddy all pour the Miracle menu: ten cocktails, a hot mulled wine, the Naughty & Nice shots and two zero-proof drinks.
The Arvada Tavern runs the Sippin’ Santa menu — Beachbum Berry’s tiki-leaning take on Christmas, heavy on rum and pineapple. 2026 is its tenth year, so it brings back a flashback favourite from several past seasons. Same season, same amount of tinsel, entirely different drinks.
Can I book for a big group?
Yes, by email rather than through the booking system:
- Union Station, parties over 8 — miracle@UnionStationinDenver.com
- The Apiary Hotel — contact announced with the season
- The Eddy, parties over 12 — EddySales@theeddygolden.com
- The Arvada Tavern — drink@arvadatavern.com
Include your date, headcount and rough arrival time in the first email; it saves a round trip.
Can I keep the mug?
You can buy it. Drinks are served in the collectible ceramics, and each bar sells them at retail alongside the season’s other merchandise while supplies last. Prices and what’s in stock vary by room — ask your bartender rather than assuming the dinosaur will still be there in late December.
Is there anything non-alcoholic?
Yes, on both menus. Miracle pours Ginger Bell Rock and Tinsel & Tart; Sippin’ Santa pours the Designated Sledder and the Shortboard Sling. All four get the same glassware and garnishes as everything else on the list.
Do you list allergens?
The drinks that carry a common allergen are flagged on the Miracle and Sippin’ Santa menus — dairy, eggs, nuts, sesame and soy. Those flags come from the official 2026 recipes.
They are a guide, not a guarantee: these are busy bars sharing shakers and ice. If an allergy is serious, tell your bartender before you order.
Is there food?
Each host venue runs its own kitchen and its own food menu, which are separate from the pop-up. Check the venue directly: The Eddy or The Arvada Tavern.
Is there a cover charge or reservation fee?
Set by each venue and announced with the season. Any fee will be shown on that venue’s booking page before you confirm.
Accessibility, allergies, or anything else
Because all four locations are hosted inside existing bars and hotels, accessibility, allergen handling and seating layout are best answered by the venue itself. Email the room you’re visiting — Union Station, The Eddy or The Arvada Tavern — and they’ll tell you exactly what they can do. For The Apiary Hotel, contact the hotel directly until the pop-up’s own details are published.
Still deciding which room?
Addresses, phones and booking links for all four are on one page.
