America's 1st Elf On A Shelf Bar Has Opened

There’s a new holiday destination making a seasonal appearance in Washington, D.C. and it’s guaranteed to turn a regular night out into a full-on North Pole spectacular. The first official Elf on the Shelf pop-up bar has landed at downtown D.C.’s Morris American Bar and it’s packed with more than 50 elves watching from every corner. Open through December 30th, the space features wildly festive decor, playful cocktails split between Nice and Naughty lists, and cozy comfort foods like grilled cheese, pigs in a blanket, and deconstructed s’mores. The pop-up is designed for the kids-who-grew-up crowd, offering holiday nostalgia with craft drinks served in whimsical glassware and over-the-top presentations. The result feels equal parts stylish cocktail bar and joyful childhood throwback, complete with elves silently judging your behavior.
