Excerpt from the article:
In just under a decade, Richmond has gone from a few festive spots with holiday tree lightings and fancy Christmas decorations (we’re looking at you, The Jefferson) to full-on temporary name changes and themed menu drops. Today, you can’t swing a stocking without hitting a holiday pop-up bar.
So we’ve gathered them up, from the new to the tried and true, for your December drinking pleasure. That’s right, you’ve found the only guide you’ll need for Richmond’s sleighful of sparkling holiday bars and pop-ups. Check out our two experienced writers’ brief notes on the vibes, menus, prime hours, reservation details and even dress codes for nearly 40 spots (yes, you read that right). Most of them are local, with a few out-of-town suggestions.
