cocktails, and themed events.

“Miracle has become a global phenomenon, and with the increasing popularity of Beachbum Berry’s Sippin’ Santa location at Latitude 29 in New Orleans, we had our sights set on bringing Miracle to New Orleans, too,” said Robért LeBlanc, founder of the LeBlanc + Smith hospitality group . “We’re thrilled to announce the first-ever Miracle pop-up locations in New Orleans this holiday season, and can’t wait to welcome Longway Tavern and Barrel Proof guests with themed quality cocktails and a festive experience unlike anything else in the city.”

This year, from November 25th to December 31st, each Miracle and Sippin’ Santa location will celebrate the season with a festive menu of signature cocktails, décor of lights, garlands, ribbons, tchotchkes inspired by nostalgic vintage Christmas decorations, and a soundtrack of holiday songs.

About Longway Tavern
Longway Tavern believes that New Orleans’ French Quarter is a neighborhood first and foremost. The restaurant and bar is a second place for everyone living in, working in, and frequenting the French Quarter; a casual spot with a breathtaking open-air courtyard where guests can grab a bite and a beer before heading off to other destinations or stay for dinner and savor a nightcap when taking the long way home. Led by Chef Cesar Nunez and Bar Director Liam Deegan, Longway offers an intimate, storied atmosphere tucked away in the midst of New Orleans’ lively French Quarter. The kitchen serves up creative twists on nostalgic tavern fare, such as the wagyu steak sandwich, and English peas with cauliflower cream and country ham, while the bar gives the same treatment to classic French Quarter cocktails, like the Sazerac and Daiquiri. www.longwaytavern.com / @longwaytavern
