A Mean Girls-inspired holiday pop-up bar is landing in Nolita
"Get in, losers, we're going to Mother's Ruin. Maybe we can't make "fetch" happen, but we can down some beautiful specialty cocktails at "Jingle Bell Rock: A Mean Girls Christmas," a Mean Girls-inspired holiday pop-up set to take over the beloved Nolita neighborhood bar nightly from December 11 through December 25, starting at 7pm through midnight. Expect movie-themed décor, DJs spinning tunes, live music and the chance to snap Polaroid selfies that you'll be able to add to an interactive "burn book.""
"Although not typically categorized as a holiday movie, Mean Girls certainly fits the bill-mostly because of the iconic talent show scene where the Plastics don sexy Santa outfits and perform "Jingle Bell Rock." The 2004 cult classic, written by Saturday Night Live and 30 Rock's Tina Fey and starring Lindsay Lohan alongside Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried, among others, became a Broadway musical in 2018-and then, in true meta fashion, a movie based on the musical based on the movie. So yes, it's pretty fetch."
"Mother's Ruin has been around since 2011 in New York and now boasts locations in Austin, Chicago and Nashville. The bar's name references an old nickname for gin-an 18th-century term born from its reputation for cheapness and chaos, though we're quite certain Regina George's mom would have handled it just fine. If you stop by during the pop-up, brush up on the rules: don't wear sweats on Mondays, definitely wear pink on Wednesdays."
