Check out these holiday pop-up bars scattered around the Tampa Bay area where you can get your fa-la-la-libations.

Intermezzo Coffee & Cocktails | Friday, Nov. 24-Sunday, Dec. 31 | The Miracle Christmas pop-up will return to Intermezzo on St. Pete’s Central Avenue to turn it into a winter wonderland with themed drinks.
