Bitter & Twisted Cocktail Parlour
1 West Jefferson Street
During the holiday season through Saturday, December 28, Bitter and Twisted Cocktail Parlour will transform its restaurant into a holiday Sippin Santa pop-up bar. The drinks on the special menu include Kris Kringle Colada, Christmas Eve of Destruction, and the Jingle Bowl. Feel charitable while sipping on your favorite drink — because 10 percent of all retail sales will be donated to Action Against Hunger in support of its efforts to help malnourished children.
