Details
VINYL will become the kind of place Santa would call his neighborhood bar, with this year’s transformation being bigger and more festive than ever. Expect muted yet over-the-top decor, sparkling lights, endless ornaments (literally “Christmas balls to the walls”), and a rock-and-hip-hop holiday soundtrack that keeps the energy merry without the kitsch.
Perfect for festive gatherings, VINYL offers an intimate space ideal for office parties, happy hours, and holiday dinners. Groups can sip through Beverage Director Henry Schmulling’s new lineup of winter cocktails, like:
- Die Hardest – Rittenhouse Rye Whiskey, ruby port, ancho chili, cacao, lemon, egg white
- Trans-Siberian Confusion – Ketel One Vodka, Calvados apple brandy, gingerbread, lemon, pineapple
- Mistress For Christmas – Diplomatico Planas Rum, Flora De Cana 7yr Aged Rum, allspice dram, Coca-Cola Velvet Falernum, lime
- Fernet Navidad (shooter) – Thinmenta (Cacao Branca Menta), YOGOS (Coffee/Coconut Fernet Branca), Blueberry Muffin Fernet Whipped Cream
Whether you’re planning a cozy team happy hour or a holiday celebration with friends, VINYL’s mix of high-quality food, handcrafted cocktails and music-first atmosphere sets the stage for a party that’s as spirited as it is stylish. Guests can start planning their holiday parties here.
