Ann Arbor Bar getting in the holiday spirit

Bar’s décor inspired by classic movie

Get ready to say cheers and get into the Christmas spirit. Fans of this holiday classic movie can get a taste of “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” at a new pop-up bar in Ann Arbor. The Griswold Pop-Up is happening at The Pretzel Bell and General Manager Joanne Bower and bartender Robin Robbins stopped by “Live in the D” to chat about it.

“It’s a full on immersive experience,” said Bower. As you step into the bar, she said you’ll step right into the Griswold’s home, or at least it looks that way. She said if you look closely throughout the pop-up you’ll see different elements from the movie.

The pop-up goes till January 4, 2025, at the bar in Downtown Ann Arbor.
