To help you get into the holiday spirit, a traveling lineup of holiday spirits are coming to town.
Elvira’s is hosting Arizona’s first and only Miracle Christmas Pop-Up Bar (not to be confused with Miracle on Congress St. a few doors down) from Tuesday, November 28 – Monday, January 1. Created by famed bartender Nico de Soto at his New York City bar Mace and dubbed “Miracle on Ninth St.,” for 2017 the annual Christmas-Hannukah pop-up is expanding from 15 bars around the world in 2016 to over 50.
Luckily, for Tucsonans we don’t need to travel several miles in snow, uphill, or both ways to enjoy the holiday concoctions.
The menu will include cocktails like the You’ll Shoot Your Rye Out, a Snowball Old Fashioned, and even “naughty” and “nice” shots.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
