The Gaelic Glow at The Local
A DOWNTOWN MINNEAPOLIS HOLIDAY POP-UP EXPERIENCE
GLOW ABOVE. GATHER BELOW.
This holiday season, The Local turns upside-down. Literally.
Step into The Gaelic Glow—a swirl of jewel-toned lights, upside-down trees, and unmistakable Irish pub warmth in a century-old space of deep wood and carved bars. A proper holiday fever dream. It’s festive without the fuss and cozy without the clichés. Come experience this glowing Irish holiday pop-up in the heart of downtown Minneapolis.
Open nightly from November 28 through mid-January, the glowing decor, special holiday cocktails, and a holiday menu are available for walk-ins. We’re also hosting ticketed holiday events—small, atmospheric nights that feel like chapters in the same story.
So come for the glow any night, or grab tickets for a special evening.
Find us downtown at Nicollet & 10th.
THE GAELIC GLOW IS OPEN NIGHTLY* AND FREET TO ENTER!
Explore the upside-down décor, sip seasonal cocktails, and enjoy the special holiday menu. *The Gaelic Glow is open seating—no reservation needed—unless a special event is in progress.
