The Graystone Tavern brings back Chicago's first and only Hanukkah-themed pop-up bar

Back by popular demand for its third year, The Graystone tavern in Wrigleyville will resurrect its “8 Crazy Nights,” a Hanukkah-themed pop-up bar that will offer Chicagoans an alternative to the typical red and greens of the season.

Open now through Sunday, January 2, guests can expect a winter wonderland of decorations created for the Jewish holiday and a weatherproofed beer garden to ensure the safety of all--no reservations necessary and there's no cover charge.

Hanukkah ball lanterns will adorn the ceiling and over 14,000 blue and white lights will cover the patio space. There will also be a return of the bar’s ugly Hanukkah sweater wall, Star of David and dreidel ornaments, lighted menorah decor, Mensch on a Bench, 8-foot inflatable dreidel and more.

A special food menu, ranging in price from $5 to $16, will feature traditional and spins on Jewish favorites like Kugel, Matzo Ball Soup, Brisket Platter and Grilled Cheese served on Challah Bread, and three flavors of Latkes including classic with sour cream and applesauce, cilantro jalapeno with chipotle sour cream and herb cheddar with chive sour cream. Bartenders will present festive cocktails with traditional Hanukkah flavors including the Festival of Lights Martini, Gelt Martini, Mazel Tov and a Mensch Mule.

There are also spaces reserved for board and card games including Connect 4 with Hanukkah gelt, Cards Against Humanity Jew expansion pack, Mitzvah Match, Jewish Guess Who, Dreidel, Apples to Apples Jewish edition, and Schmear Build-A-Bagel card game.

The Graystone Tavern can be found at 3441 N. Sheffield Avenue in Wrigleyville and will be open 4 pm – 11 pm Monday through Friday and 11 am – 11 on Saturdays and Sundays.
