Leela's Wine Bar
Leela’s Wine Bar is no stranger to immersive holiday experiences, but this year’s version of their wildly popular “Holiday House” aims to be bigger, better and more magical than ever before. Once again, Leela’s has invited designer Karla Gallegos to collaborate for a fourth year in bringing each bar’s holiday spirit to life. Although the largest transformation is at the Greenville location, each bar’s design and collection of spirited cocktails will set the scene of a perfect winter wonderland.
Guests are immediately greeted by whimsical arched branches covered in lights and ornaments. From the outside, the buildings are covered in large gift boxes and ornaments that set the seasonal mood. Stepping inside, you’ll be surrounded by white and silver decor with pops of red throughout. Looking up from cozy seating, you’ll notice the ceilings are adorned with snowflakes, ornaments and lights that look like snowfall.
Karla envisioned the holiday pop-up as an “escape from the normal chaos the holidays bring.”
“Expect a decked-out snowy winter vibe this year, perfect for a night celebrating connection with family and friends,” Karla says. “Even though there are lots of places for the perfect holiday candid, this pop-up is designed to truly enhance an evening spending time with those you love.”
This year’s Holiday House-themed cocktails must have been born from a mixologist’s own holiday wish list with drinks as tasty as they are creative. The Ornamint starts with strawberry and hibiscus-infused gin, Italicus, strawberry, lemon and tonic and is served in an ornament glass, while the Polar Expresso is their take on an espresso martini made with Mr. Black coffee liquor, Frangelico, cream and cinnamon. All Things Nice is another martini that makes gingerbread and espresso the star attraction, while Drink Up Grinches marries fig and cinnamon-infused Mount Gay black rum, Cointreau, lemon, rosemary and thyme for one sassy sip.
Of course, a night out like this also requires some amazing food. Leela’s Wine Bar has got you covered with a menu that includes their famous charcuterie boards and an extensive list of signature thin-crust pizzas that will have you feeling merry in no time.
