'Tis the season for deals and limited-time offers in chain restaurants across the country. Here's a roundup of the festive happenings around F&B this holiday season.
Makeready
Makeready—the Dallas-based hospitality company with a collection of independent hotels, restaurants, and retail brands—announces Holiday Glow, a lineup of festive programming across its entire portfolio. At participating Makeready hotels—Emeline Halcyon, Noelle, The Alida, The Eliza Jane, The Junto, The Ryder Hotel—the Holiday Glow package includes up to 20% off guest rooms, a $100 dining credit, and a hand-crafted candle signature to that respective hotel.
At The Adolphus, the Winter Village Ski Lodge transforms the rooftop into a winter wonderland with cozy yurts, a glittering snowscape, warm cocktails, tableside s'mores, and more. At Noelle, guests can enjoy Hidden-Ville, a Grinch holiday-inspired village located inside of Hidden Bar and featuring festive bites and cocktails.
Coury Hospitality
Coury Hospitality is redefining holiday cheer—and maximizing hotel revenue potential—with the launch of Reindeer Alley, a series of holiday-themed pop-up bars now open across its hotel portfolio.
Each Reindeer Alley pop-up is tailored to a different reindeer from Santa’s team—such as Dasher’s Den at Colcord Hotel in Oklahoma City and Prancer’s Parlour at Hotel Carmichael in Carmel, Indiana. Coury is capitalizing on underutilized areas across its hotels by activating the pop-ups in unexpected spaces like ballrooms, storage rooms, and hidden corners.
When visiting Reindeer Alley bars, guests can indulge in a bespoke holiday menu featuring inventive, seasonal cocktails inspired by holiday flavors. Signature drinks like Holiday Vacation, Fireside Chai, and Spiced Espresso Martini will add a seasonal twist to classic recipes and are served in festive glassware that complements the merry ambiance.
Old Chicago Pizza + Taproom
Guests are invited to embrace the holiday spirit with a festive lineup of drinks at Old Chicago Pizza + Taproom. The Espresso Martini, now a staple on the core menu, is ideal for those looking to add a spirited twist to any meal. To complement the festive flavors, Old Chicago is also rolling out seasonal beers — Breckenridge Christmas and New Belgium Holiday Ale. Guests can also explore locally sourced beers on the Holiday Cheer beer tour and win an exclusive prize.
Moxies
The premium casual concept is rolling out an exclusive lineup of three new festive cocktails.
Old Fashion Christmas Cocktail is a mix of High West Bourbon, cranberry simple syrup and orange bitters, garnished with sugared cranberries and fresh rosemary.
