If the holidays have you craving something festive with a little kick, Grove City has you covered. The Visit Grove City Holiday Cocktail Trail is back, inviting you to sample limited edition holiday drinks at nine local bars and restaurants, all while earning prizes along the way.
The idea is simple and very merry. Register for a free digital passport ahead of time or scan a QR code at any participating stop. Order the featured holiday cocktail, check in by scanning the QR code, and move on to your next destination. Visit seven locations to earn a commemorative stainless steel flask, and check in at all nine to score a Holiday Cocktail Trail T-shirt. You can tackle the trail in any order, and over multiple nights if you want.
The drink lineup is as festive as it gets.
You’ll get to enjoy a maple old-fashioned, Christmas cosmos, spiked apple cider, peppermint cocktails, and even a few mocktail options for those skipping the alcohol. Standouts include a Mistletoe Margarita at Cimi’s Bistro, a Fireside Frost at Grove City Brewing Company, a Pumpkin Pie Shot at Hop Yard 62, and a Christmas Mule at The Jackpot Lounge.
The trail also doubles as a great excuse to explore Grove City’s Town Center and beyond. Participating spots include local favorites like Broadway Plates and Pints, Local Cantina, Town Center Pub, The Upper Deck, Dueling Axes, and more. Whether you’re starting with dinner, ending with live music, or squeezing in a stop between errands, each location adds its own holiday flair.
Once you start sipping, don’t forget to document the fun.
