HAPPENINGS
Barca Wonderland, Holiday Pop-Up
Barca Wonderland, holiday pop-up is back!
Sip something merry. Get into the spirit with the Sleigh All Day (tequila, blood orange, spiced cranberry), a Gingerbread Espresso Martini, a warm Fireside Old Fashioned with hot apple cider, or the North Pole Hot Chocolate spiked with single barrel rum. Bringing a crowd? Order the Shot Tree. Not drinking? Rudolfβs Spritz and Frostyβs Meltdown bring all the cheer, zero proof.
Snack like an elf. Share the Barca Fondue for two, loaded with mahΓ³n and gruyΓ¨re, crispy patatas, chistorra sausage, and garlic ciabatta. Graze on pintxos like warm ValdeΓ³n toast with orange-aleppo honey or our βsteak fritesβ with beef tenderloin. Then go all in on dessert: BΓ»che de NoΓ«l, peppermint tres leches, or fresh baked cookies with eggnog custard (add a pour of Four Roses, we wonβt tell Santa).
