This the season when Small Change transforms to the spectacle that is Miracle STL. The spirit of Christmas is alive and well. I was lucky to snag a reservation for two on Sunday evening and the place was busy! Upon arrival you check in at the tent entrance (also festively decorated). Heaters keep you warm while waiting for your seating time. Your duly appointed hostess directs you to your seat and the clock starts ticking on your max table time. For two, it's a one hour limit. Even though I had perused the menu prior to being seated there are so many exciting Holiday themed drinks to choose from it's hard to decide. Our waitress gave tips and I ended up with Marshmallows and Unicorns as my first drink. Very good recommendation. I loved the flavors and the fun Christmas unicorn mug! My second selection was the Carol Barrel, another server recommendation. I was intrigued by the Guinness Punch ingredient. Also very good, so many flavors going on and served in a Fa La La barrel mug. Ended the night with a unicorn mug as a take home. I look forward to this pop up every year, so festive, great holiday themed drinks , and just plain fun!
Ambiance is great. Pub vibe, but with Christmas everywhere which I loved. The service was incredible. They were very attentive. The drinks were okay. This could have been just because of the ones we ordered, but they were not amazing to me. Would I go back next year to try their new menu? Absolutely. I just was not impressed with the drinks this year. Everything else was awesome.
Miracle STL was such a cute holiday pop up! The decor was so perfect and they even had the bathrooms decorated. Along with the Christmas decor, the staff was dressed for the holiday and really trendy Christmas music was playing too. The presentation of the drinks were too cute and I even got to take the Koala from my Koala La La drink home with me! Our bartender was so nice and welcoming and was able to suggest some drinks for us. I also tried the naughty shot which was the perfect amount of spice
Great for walk ins! I would make a reservation to be safe. We were warmly greeted by our elf host and seated promptly. All around you are Christmas lights, festive trees, ornaments, and good vibes. The bartenders are so sweet, attentive, happy to make suggestions! They all wear cute lil Christmas sweaters and are all goofballs. Loved hanging out with them!! The only downside were the drinks. I got the Christmasaurus. It came in a cute little stegosaurus cup. Presentation was 10/10. When I took my first sip, I almost spit it out. I wanted to love it, I did. But I'm not kidding, it was the worst drink I've ever tasted in my life. It tasted like I was eating bacon. I drank it for the alcohol. Come to think of it, none of the drinks on the menu makes sense. There are 10 different ingredients in each drink that don't complement each other. Less is more. I would come back for the vibes but not the drinks. Edit: the naughty and nice shots are good.
We came as a walk, they do take reservations, we only had to wait for about five minutes. However you can only stay an hour if you are a walk in. This is a pop up and end's beginning of January from what I have heard. We came for date night, we ordered a Christmaspolitan and a Snowball Old Fashioned The service was great, our server checked on us every few minutes! The ambiance was warm and welcoming. Keep in mind there's no food but there is a vending machine. You can also get to go cocktails.
Miracle is always the best time!! They really do have everything down to a science with the whole process so that everyone who wants to, can get a chance to have a drink. The decor is obviously off the charts and I think it's hilarious that they moved the formerly motorized Santa to the top of the tree so no one could break him this year! Granted, the drinks can be pricey but you're paying for the ambiance and the experience..I mean who doesn't want to drink a Christmas cocktail out of a T Rex wearing a Santa hat?! The only think that kept me from buying the glass was that you had to drink out of it with a straw but still..so fun! Over the years, I've been a few times with friends but this time, I went alone and without a reservation in the hopes that a seat was available and that it wouldn't be awkward and I scored on both counts! There was a seat open at the bar and everyone was super nice! The bartender (Kyle) made great recommendations and didn't make me feel like a weirdo for being there alone and one of the other servers offered to take my pic and even set up a couple of props just right on the bar. I plan on dropping in again and having a drink later in the evening, keeping my fingers crossed that there's a seat open. Go get your Christmas cheer on..I double dog dare you to not be enchanted!
Warning: long post. My take on Miracle STL: iIt's fun with its kitchy, eclectic over the top holiday decorations. I'm glad it's in my neighborhood. You don't need reservations. but you are seated like a restaurant. I was seated next to the bathroom which I wasn't crazy about. The drinks are small and a bit pricey, avg about $14-$15. I didn't care for the Jingle Bell Nog because I couldn't taste the cognac and it was literally served in a holiday shot glass. I did enjoy my second drink however, the Hot Buttered Rum which was served a cut winking Santa mug and I could taste the rum! Perfect for a chilly night like tonight! You only can stay an hour and the staff will remind you in 30 minutes your reservation will end and see if you would like anything else. Its extremely popular so they must seat everyone. The staff are wonderful, full of smiles and seem to be having a good Ole Jingle time! (I have to add a Christmas somewhere in this review!) This will be a great date night place during the holidays with its coziness and Retro classic holiday music. (Jackson 5 "Santa Claus is Coming to Town") playing in the background. Go check it out! I still in awe on how much effort it took to decorated every corner of this little bar in my neighborhood!
This place is amazing! Every year I try to make it here, the mixologist provide great service always. The ambiance can't be beat if you're into Christmas, the Christmas music is awesome too. I went originally the 2nd year they did this (couldn't get in year 1) and have gone every year since.
We come to Miracle every year and always have a nice time! Love the seasonal drinks and this time we had one of the best experiences. Our server - Casey? KC? If it sounds remotely like that, we're talking about the same person - was the best. We came here earlier than we usually do every year because one of our friends experienced a loss over Thanksgiving and needed some serious cheering up. Casey (Kasey???? I'm so bad at names) made us laugh - MUCH NEEDED - and did a fantastic job overall of turning our night around. As someone who goes to Small Change for drinks whenever I'm feeling even remotely sad and need a little cocktail treat, it's so fun to see it transformed into a Christmas wonderland. Highlights were the Hot Buttered Rum, the Feliz Navidad, and we tried BOTH the Naughty and Nice shots! All were so yummy. We'll be back again this season for sure - I gotta buy myself a souvenir mug.
Underwhelmed, overpriced and rushed - I went to Miracle tonight with some friends, we made a reservation weeks ago to get a table (10$ per person). The drinks are tiny, small and packed with lots of ice and overpriced. The tables/stools were small and cramped as well. There was a gift box on the table with a mask and some other christmasy items, but I don't need any of that.... The vibe isn't a fun Christmas environment anymore, it's more rush rush from the team. I felt very policed by the constant reminders of masking while trying to drink a cocktail and at the end. Literally the minute you finish taking a sip someone was signaling to pull up the mask. I absolutely understand the importance of masking, socially distancing and following the CDC guidelines, however it seemed excessive. Having a business open and patrons coming you are taking a risk and ideally wanting to limit that risk for all, but it felt off-putting. They had a selfie stick at the table to take picture and while we were up, the server cleared the table before we finished our last drink. The message was that next reservation was there, however did not see anyone and to note: there were 2 other socially distanced open tables in the bar with no customers. Not impressed and probably won't return.
It was a Christmas miracle I was able to get in as a walk-in but Santa made it happen! Miracle is exactly what it's supposed to be; lovely, fun, festive, and a little extra. Between my friend and I we tried four of the cocktails and we really enjoyed them all with the Christmas Cricket being a fan fave! Our server was so great and very attentive and really made the experience even more fun. In case you aren't aware of how Miracle works, you do need a reservation but they take small group walk-ins when they can so just plan ahead. 12/10 and (hopefully) I'll be back!
We've stoped my Miracle each year and we made our first stop of the season last night. It's always such a fun time and feels like it really kicks off the Christmas season for us. We love all their fun drink options. I don't drink carbonation so one of their bartenders came over to talk about the ways he could tweak one of their drinks I wanted to try so it wouldn't include carbonation. He offered his advice on what would work and what probably wouldn't work well. The decor and environment all make it hard not to have a very fun time. We didn't get reservations but stopped in at happy hour time and waited less than 5 minutes for a table.
Got the opportunity to go to Miracle STL this year and had a great time! The decor was phenomenal and every inch of the bar was decked out in Christmas/Hanukkah decor. When we first walked in, I noticed they were taking covid precautions and required masks when not seated which is really nice. Also noticed the inclusivity of the place with the pride flags and recognizing Hanukkah! The staff was super friendly and the drinks were unique and delicious. They even have warm drinks. They give you an hour and a half for three people and it was a perfect amount of time. I think they may add 30 min/person? Make sure you book tickets ASAP bc they sell out quick!
Miracle is the OG Christmas pop-up and it's seriously SO cute. The decor is over the top in the best way and instantly puts you in the holiday spirit. I was genuinely shocked they don't require reservations because it feels like the kind of place that would be booked weeks out. We walked in on a Tuesday night and were seated immediately with no wait. I really appreciated that they offer a full bar and not just the typical overly sweet, novelty Christmas cocktails. Everything felt thoughtfully done on the drink side. The only downside is the food situation. Options are very limited, and while I understand they likely don't have a full kitchen, it's definitely something to plan around. Eat beforehand or expect this to be more of a drinks-only stop. read more
I love this holiday pop up bar so much! It's truly magical and very festive for the holidays! I made a reservation on the day they opened and oh my - this was just about as stressful as buying concert tickets! Their reservations definitely go fast so be sure you plan ahead if you want to visit. They offer a 1.5 table limit for a party of 3 which was plenty of time for us to enjoy drinks and the atmosphere. Our server was super friendly and helpful. I was so happy to get the drink in the unicorn mug since it matched my sweater! And then I had to try the drink that comes with the mini Koala bear (the Koala La La La) which was so tasty! This place is seriously festive and really got me into the holiday sprit! read more

There are way better Holiday Pop-up bars in St. Louis. I have been waiting years to get in, and it is a dive compared to others in the area. The first drink, Yippee Ki Yay, was decent flavor-wise, but it had a ton of ice and did not feel like a full drink. The other 3 drink options we had (each got 2 drinks and tried each others), weren't worth commenting on as they were not our style, so not fair to judge. The location itself had a backed up drain smell (not really sure how else to describe it). It was fully decked out in holiday decor, which was a positive. Our server was nice. Overall, won't go back and don't recommend. read more
The halls and every other part of Miracle, a pop-up Christmas bar, is decked with decor. It's super cute, pretty, and fun. I had two drinks, one of which was warm and savory and the other of which was cold and fruity. I had a Santa's Helper and a Bad Santa. My friend has a SanTaRex and a Snowball Old Fashioned. Reservations are pretty full but it looks like they get a lot of no-shows. My friend and I were seated as walk ins immediately when we arrived at 5:30 yesterday. They will kick you out after about an hour if it gets busy and they need the table, they say, but that didn't happen to us. Pretty much nothing to eat here, so make plans or come full. Worth a trip to Benton Park! read more

I have been wanting to come to small change for a long time, and getting to experience this pop-up didn't disappoint. I came on a Tuesday around 4:30 without a reservation, and we were seated right away - but be warned, walk-ins get a 1 hr time limit. The interior is crazy eclectic and looks like santa threw up holiday cheer all over the place which made the experience pretty fun. The staff was dressed up, and everyone was super friendly and chill. I got the naughty shot, nice shot, snowball fashioned, and the unicorn marshmallow drink. The naughty shot was a really cool flavor profile with a nice little bite of spice. I enjoyed the old fashioned, but the ice was a huge ball, so it seemed a little pricey for $15. The unicorn marshmallow drink was for a friend, but it was super sweet and way too much for my personal taste. But it did come in a unicorn glass, which gave it some redemption. Parking was on the street, and there was plenty during the early evening. read more

This was such an immersive experience! Small Change is cool bar in the Benton Park neighborhood and I'd been wanting to visit.... Turns out this was a good night to check them out and experience The Miracle! The holiday decorations were 'magical' and literally wall to wall! The staff was festive and kind! They all dressed in holiday outfits. What's cool about Miracle is that they brand EVERYTHING--the glasses, the coasters, the drinks, the snacks. I also really appreciated that we were able to walk in and enjoy the experience--no reservation required. We tried the Feliz Navidad (great Mezcal cocktail...I really liked it but can't think of what it reminded me of), Holiday Hopes (similar to a Manhattan), Elfing Around (like a great holiday brunch cocktail...a little sweeter than a Poinsettia), and a Christmas Cricket (which tasted like an Andy's Chocolate Mint)! We also decided to buy some Miracle swag, which was reasonable priced and super cute & festive! read more
Went to the Christmas pop up bar for a date and I can say that I was not disappointed. Nice cozy, intimate spot where it is easy to hold conversation. Had the Bad Santa cocktail and Naught Shot. The Bad Santa was a nice warm beverage on a cold night, but it wasn't too hot that I had to wait to drink it all, perfect temperature. There was a good balance between the rum and the sweet flavors of the vanilla, oat milk, and chai. The naughty shot was a little underwhelming as I expected the cinnamon to be a bit more prominent, but they definitely have a good choice of bourbon. Waitress was attentive, but no overbearing. Great spot for a date, or casual evening with a friend/friends. read more
