About The Christmas Bar at JohnMartin's
Celebrate Christmas in the heart of Coral Gables at The Christmas Bar at JohnMartin's, a festive holiday takeover of one of Miracle Mile's most recognizable Irish pubs.
From November 19 through December 27, 2026, JohnMartin's transforms into a Christmas wonderland filled with thousands of twinkling lights, colorful decorations, and approximately 10,000 ornaments.
The atmosphere is designed to feel like stepping into a classic Christmas movie, with elaborate holiday displays throughout the pub and plenty of festive photo opportunities.
But The Christmas Bar is more than just a place to take holiday pictures.
Guests can enjoy a special seasonal drinks menu featuring 13 Christmas cocktails and shots, created to bring a little extra holiday spirit to the evening.
JohnMartin's also continues to offer its regular Irish pub and restaurant experience, making it a convenient destination for guests who want to combine dinner and drinks in one location.
Located directly on Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, the pub has been a neighborhood institution since 1989 and is known for its whiskey selection, elevated pub food, and lively social atmosphere.
The Christmas takeover builds on that reputation with a cozy, cheerful setting that works equally well for a romantic holiday date, a festive dinner with friends, or a larger group celebration.
Past holiday editions have also featured DJs and evening entertainment, although specific 2026 entertainment dates should be confirmed with the venue.
Unlike some Christmas pop-ups that focus entirely on elaborate photo installations, JohnMartin's offers a full restaurant and bar experience where guests can sit down, order food, enjoy holiday cocktails, and spend the evening together.
The pub's later weekend hours also make it appealing for groups who want their holiday dinner to turn into a night out.
Whether you're planning a Christmas date night or gathering friends for festive drinks, The Christmas Bar at JohnMartin's is one of Coral Gables' standout holiday experiences.
