Get Ready for a Holiday Treat in Shreveport!
Hey there, Shreveport! The holiday season is knocking at our doors, and what better way to celebrate than by sipping on some fantastic drinks in a cozy atmosphere? This year, your favorite local spot, Fatty Arbuckle’s, is transforming into a winter wonderland with its brand new pop-up holiday bar, aptly named The Shreveport Ski Lodge! Starting from Thanksgiving night, November 28, all the way through January 5, 2025, you can bask in the warm and festive vibes of this unique holiday experience.
A Cozy Ski Lodge Vibe
Ever wondered what it would be like to kick back in a classic ski lodge without leaving Louisiana? Well, now you can find out! The owner of Fatty’s, the charismatic Chase Boytim, has decided to take the bar to new heights (or should we say slopes?) this holiday season. Chase, well-known for his incredible cocktails and rare liquor collection, thought it was high time to mix a little festive fun with the bar’s natural ambiance.
Chase explained, “The dark hue of Fatty’s interior really gives off that classic ski lodge feel, similar to what you might find in the northern U.S. So, we thought it would be a hoot to create this kind of atmosphere for the holidays.” Picture this: plaid wallpaper, twinkling lights, and even some festive antlers adorning the walls. Trust us; it’s going to be a sight to see!
Decor Galore
The transformation of Fatty Arbuckle’s into The Shreveport Ski Lodge will involve some pretty cool decorations. Imagine silver tinsel shimmering beneath the warm glow of fairy lights, classic holiday music filling the air, and some vintage ski poles placed for that perfect photo op. And don’t forget the highlight of the décor: enlarged historic downtown Shreveport snow photos courtesy of Twin Blends Photography, which will transport you to a magical wintry scene right inside the bar!
Sip on Specialty Drinks
What’s a holiday bar without some scrumptious drinks? Chase has crafted a menu of specialty cocktails that not only look great but taste heavenly, too! Think colorful concoctions served in retro glassware that will make your Instagram feed pop. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic drink with a holiday twist or something completely creative, there’s something for everyone.
Everyone’s Invited!
This holiday pop-up isn’t just for the locals; it’s a delightful treat for tourists as well! The Shreveport Ski Lodge aims to be a go-to destination for good cheer, and Chase is excited to share this experience with everyone. So why not gather your friends or family and make a night out of it? Who doesn’t love the smell of festivity in the air alongside some deliciously crafted cocktails?
