Polite Provisions

"This year, the Adams Avenue bar is doing a homegrown holiday pop-up dubbed “A Cocktail Carol”. Debuting November 20, it’ll feature cocktails inspired by classic Christmas carols of the past including Agave Hot Chocolate, Holiday Coquito, House Mulled Wine, and a S’mores-inspired Eggnog, served in customized glassware with tricked-out garnishes. As always, the bar itself will be a feast for the eyes with amped-up holiday decor." - Candice Woo

"Miracle is returning to Polite Provisions with holiday-themed drinks and interiors decorated as over-the-top winter wonderlands." - Candice Woo

"Miracle, the Christmas cocktail pop-up bar that will touch down at more than 80 bars around the country, is returning to Polite Provisions. Running through December 30, it’ll offer a kitschy extravaganza of tinsel and festive decorations as well as seasonal cocktails inspired by Christmas songs and classic holiday movies." - Candice Woo

"Brian Prugalidad, who will lead the bar program at Nolita Hall, has been a trusted member of the city's top cocktail spots including Polite Provisions." - Candice Woo

"Polite Provisions takes its cocktails seriously, so it's no wonder they nabbed a James Beard nomination for Outstanding Bar Program in 2016. The concept plays up the drug store theme: drinks are crafted using house-made bitters, sodas, and syrups (thought to have medicinal benefits), and each item is served in its own type of glassware. The tight menu is well-balanced between spirit-forward and lighter drinks. (Try the Mayan Concubine—you read that right—an elixir of tequila, fresh lemon, apricot liqueur, and bitters.) There are also strong renditions of classics like the negroni, more unconventional options (a rum-passionfruit punch bowl), and, of course, actual soda fountain drinks." - Archana Ram
