Holiday Pop-Up To Take Over Reserve 22 In Glen Ellyn

GLEN ELLYN, IL — Glen Ellyn's Reserve 22 has been getting into the holiday spirit. The restaurant will feature a holiday pop-up from Nov. 19 through Jan. 5 that will pack it to the rafters with holiday lights, Christmas trees, hundreds of snowflakes, and other festively fun items.

The pop-up bar will feature a special holiday menu to help customers stay warm this winter season. Featured items include short rib stew and chicken saltimbocca. Diners can wash it all down with craft cocktails that range from cranberry-infused mistletoe mules to glasses of spiked eggnog.

A life-sized Buddy the Elf will be on-site for customers to snap pics with in what Reserve 22 is calling its "Instagram-worthy elfie area." Kids and grownups alike can also keep an eye out for an Elf on the Shelf that will be moved around the restaurant throughout the run of the pop-up.

While dining or drinking at Reserve 22's holiday pop-up, customers can also buy a gift wrap bow for $1 to be put up on the pop-up's "wall of bows." Proceeds from the bow sales will be donated to local charities that include Young Life, People's Resource Center, Bridge Communities, and the Glen Ellyn food pantry.

Reservations are not required to attend the Reserve 22 holiday pop-up, but they are encouraged.
