I usually like to wait until after Thanksgiving before totally embracing the holiday season but... IT'S TIME (as Mariah Carey would say)

Or at least, The Tap House in downtown Rochester, MN says it's time. The restaurant is dripping in Christmas and is totally transformed into a holiday masterpiece where you can go and enjoy food and holiday drinks with friends and family amongst tons and tons of holiday decorations.

If you're familiar with Betty Danger's, which was a restaurant in Minneapolis, MN that would get totally decked out for the holidays, The Tap House is doing something like that, but here in Rochester!

The Tap House in Downtown Rochester, MN Transforms Into Holiday Wonderland

They're calling it Miracle on Historic 3rd Street. Get it? Because The Tap House Downtown is on 3rd St.

It looks amazing! You'll definitely feel like you're in the holiday spirit once you pay a visit. I think my jaw actually hit the flood when I first walked through the doors.

The whole place is decked out! You've got the main area when you first walk in:

Dunken (the office Grinch) says it was made especially for him.

They have a special drink menu for the festivities, too.

Miracle on Historic 3rd St. at The Tap House is open now through January 7th, so you have plenty of time to get in the festive spirit.

Pictures just don't do it justice, though. Dunken and I got to check out the place before they opened on Wednesday, which you can check out below. Or, even better, check it out in person sometime this holiday season!
