About

The Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, The Depot is excited to announce the debut of its inaugural Northern Starlight Express holiday pop-up bar. This immersive experience transports patrons on a 60-minute journey through a festive reimagining of a historic train car. Guests will enjoy specialty cocktails and curated small bites as they are swept up in the holiday spirit.

Running Wednesday through Saturday from November 29, 2024 to January 4, 2025, the Northern Starlight Express offers a one-of-a-kind, interactive experience designed to evoke the charm of yesteryear while celebrating the holiday season. For those looking to revel in the magic between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, select additional dates are available to keep the celebrations rolling, although the pop-up will be closed on both Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.

The Northern Starlight Express features an exclusive menu of handcrafted cocktails and delectable bites, all created specifically for this event. Guests can expect seasonal flavors that complement the cozy, nostalgic ambiance of the pop-up. The experience will be available by reservation only, ensuring an intimate and personalized adventure for each attendee.
