Came in for their Christmas pop up the other night and it was packed! The service was quick, and we luckily got seats pretty fast. The drinks were delicious, as always, and very on theme. Come early for the pop up though bc they do get to capacity quick!

We went to the Miracle on 2nd Street for its Miracle Christmas pop-up event. The bar was FILLED with Christmas decorations and ALL of the staff had Christmas spirit. You could tell the staff were excited and wanted to take care of our requests. The drinks had themed names and unique ingredients. A great selection of whiskeys obviously.

tl;dr - a date night out with great staff and even better drinks Tin Widow is something special - the ambiance, the decor, the lightning - there's just something different about it and elevates things from your typical chic cocktail lounge. Always a cozy vibe with lit candles, but the staff really drives it for something different as they are caring, creative and are actually willing and seem like they want to chat with you when they have a breather. You would definitely want to come here for a romantic night out or just a great catchup night with friends. Again the decor is kind of fun, there's a lot of interesting little statues and art around that will be a conversation topic if you need one. This place also turns into a CRAZY hotspot during December where it's like a Miracle holiday pop up where it looks like Christmas has been (very lovingly) vomited all over the entire inside. A fun holiday drink menu and the crazy decorations make that a VERY hard place to get into when it's active. Basically, visit it at least once (it's fun to check out) and then become a normal Tin Widow regular and avoid that month like a plague. P.S. don't be weirded out, the bathroom is in a little bit of a strange area out the inside door and down a hallway, but it's all fine - you'll find it!

Tin Widow is just a wonderful corner bar all year round, with their cozy vibes, classic cocktails and friendly mixologists. This year, we finally made it in for the annual Miracle Christmas Pop-Up, and a holiday-themed date night. The decorations are an absolute showstopper! There is so much to look at. I could have spent hours there just finding all the fun, hidden nods to Holiday movies, traditions and stories. The wait for a drink was a bit long, but it was a busy Friday night, and the wait was well worth it. We appreciated the time and attention taken for each specialty cocktail, especially with the higher price point. We tried 4 different holiday drinks, each served in a themed glass or mug. My favorite was the Snowball Old-Fashioned with a gingerbread twist and a giant "snowball" ice cube. My fiancé loved the gin-based Marshmallows and Unicorns. It came in the most adorable Unicorn mug, which you could purchase. But, at $22, the price was a little steep for us to justify taking one home. Overall, we had a wonderful, festive night kicking off December, and hope to make it back one more time before the New Year! Cheers to Holiday Cheer!

We went back to the Tin Widow and had a great time. While we're still older than the usual demographic, my spouse and I were treated warmly, and the proprietor took care of us well. It was different than our last experience. My cocktail was delicious, and I think the Tin Widow is one of the best mixology bars in Walker's Point along with Boone and Crockett, Braise, Bryant's, and Red Maple.

Very neat place. Didn't recall coming here before but once we were inside and had a few drinks, i remembered we had been a few years back. Laid back bar and superb bartender. Nice selection of liquors. Will definitely be back sooner than later!
