The holiday season is here and you know what that means: holiday pop-up bars. In addition to some of our favorite returning Christmas pop-ups, Houston will see the debut of new holiday havens where X-mas lovers can be merry with themed drinks, tinsel tunes, and decor galore. This year, Berg Hospitality Group is introducing Havana Holiday at Emilia’s Havana where patrons can enjoy Christmas cheer with a little Latin flair.
Opened in November 2022, Emilia’s Havana is an intimate cocktail lounge inspired by ’50s-era Cuban aesthetics. A concept of Berg Hospitality Group, Emilia’s Havana also operates as a live music venue that regularly stages bossa nova performances.

Kicking off November 12, Emilia’s Havana will transform into Havana Holiday for the Christmas season. Running through January 3, the holiday pop-up will outfit the space in holiday decor along with special themed cocktails, and live performances.
“Guests will be transported to a glamorous Havana-inspired hideaway decked out in holiday sparkle, with sultry Latin rhythms, themed decor, and a holiday cocktail lineup that celebrates the season’s best flavors”.
Featured cocktails at Havana Holiday are made in partnership with Bacardi, Remy Cointreau, and Royal Wine, include the following Christmas spirits:
- Santa Clausmopolitan
- GingerBERG Nog
- White Christmas Margarita
- Dubai Chocolate Martini
