Elf’d Up

November 6, 2024

what to do in chicago this weekend 

Step into a winter wonderland inspired by the beloved 2003 holiday movie *Elf* at this Wrigleyville pop-up inside Stretch Bar & Grill. The venue transforms with over 1,000 festive elves, glittering Christmas trees, and an abundance of holiday lights. Settle in at tables featuring the “four main food groups” (candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup) and dive into treats like Buddy’s breakfast pasta—a whimsical plate of spaghetti topped with maple syrup, chocolate fudge, marshmallows, and strawberry Pop-Tarts. For those looking for a drink, try a beer served in a 36-ounce elf boot. And if you’re hoping to meet Buddy the Elf himself, stop by between Thursday and Sunday, when he’s known to make surprise visits.
