A Holiday Cocktail Bar Is Coming to Brookfield Place — and So Is Santa

Here’s your chance to drink seasonal cocktails under 640 twinkling lanterns, and help out a good cause in the process. Brookfield Place is all decked out with their enchanting luminaries, the giant glowing canopy of lanterns that change colors and intensity. Now the shopping center and venue is also hosting the pop-up cocktail bar series Après Hour, featuring beverages and light bites. 

Après Hour will run three Tuesdays this month: December 6, 13 and 20. An extremely limited number of tickets will be available on site on the days of the events. It’s first come, first serve — so definitely arrive early!

On top of the festivities, proceeds from the event will benefit Outreach, a charity that provides life-changing drug and alcohol abuse treatment and training services. Get your ticket here. 

And the holiday cheer continues at Brookfield with the man of the moment himself. Santa Claus will be posted up in the Winter Garden and selfie-ready throughout the month. Starting December 14, visitors can snap a pic with Father Christmas while enjoying crafts, candy canes and lots more cheer. Bring your pets!
