Seasons greetings! 🎄🎅🏄‍♂️
We have been getting lots of messages about year three of Sippin’ Santa at The Emerald Lounge, so we wanted to cover a couple important points of interest before this event is upon us!

First up: WHEN IS IT? 📆

Sippin’ Santa will open its doors on Friday, November 20th at 5pm. We will be open 5pm til 11pm Sunday through Thursday and 5pm til 1am on Fridays and Saturdays. We will be closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The last day of the event is December 30th. We will not be open on New Year’s Eve.

Next up: RESERVATIONS! 📍

Like last year, we’re offering a limited number of reservations! We’ll have a brand new dinner menu to compliment the seasonal drink offerings, and we want to give people a chance to plan their visits. Reservations will open on our Resy site (link in bio) on Wednesday, 11/4 at noon for parties of 2-8 people. The rest of our tables and the bar will be held for walk-ups. We will not be using our normal waitlist app for waiting parties, instead we will be running a line in order to get as many folks in per night as possible.

Due to the size of our dining room, we cannot seat groups with more than 8 people. If your group is larger, we’ll need to split your party, and the two parties may be sat at different times, depending on the line. Reservations must be canceled at least 24 hours in advance to avoid a penalty, and we can only hold tables for 15 minutes past your reservation time. If you’re running late, you can message our host through Resy and they will do their best to accommodate.

***LARGE PARTY PRIVATE ROOM RENTALS!
Just like last year, we have our private event space, which will be similarly decked out in holiday decor, serving up the same Sippin’ Santa drinks and heaping plates of food chosen by you! Uniquely suited to parties of 12-30 people, this space comes with it’s own dedicated bartender, your choice of music and hours of uninterrupted fun. Dates are already filling up fast, so submit your inquiry at www.emeraldloungerva.com and let’s get your holiday party on the books!

Have you checked out Bar Mu***os yet?
Tonight is a good night to do it! 💀 🌼 🦇

10/21/2026

💀🌼 and we are open! Happy Bar Mu***os to all who celebrate!

10/20/2026

The Emerald Lounge is no more. There is only Bar Mu***os now. 💀🌼

In 2019, Bar Mu***os first appeared at the Jasper, a celebration of life, death and love, an ode to the food and drink of Mexico. Over the years, we touched a lot of people and raised a lot of money for charities that meant a lot to us. This year, it’s making a new home for itself, at long last reunited with the person who started it all, Marcelo Lopez-Cortez.

We will be closed today for a hard reset, and the marigold passage will open on Wednesday at 5pm. We have a really fun menu prepped and ready, both food and drink, and we can’t wait to share it with you. As per usual, a portion of sales will be donated to Richmond Community Legal Fund to help them continue doing their important work, so don’t delay, come celebrate for a good cause! Stay tuned for the menu drop 👀

SUNDAY RUMDAY: Goslings Spirited Seas 🍹 🌊

If you’ve ever made a Dark ‘n’ Stormy, there’s a good chance you’re already familiar with Gosling’s, the company that owns the trademark for the drink’s name. Inhabiting a small corner of the island of Bermuda about 650 miles off the coast of North Carolina, Gosling Brothers Limited has been doing their thing since 1806. What thing is that exactly? Glad you asked! Goslings rums are not distilled in Bermuda, but rather reportedly sourced from Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and some other Caribbean locations (we’ve seen Guyana thrown around here as well), aged, blended and bottled in Bermuda. The result is a line of products that range from 151 overproof black rum, to Gosling’s Black Seal, the rum designated for the aforementioned Dark ‘n’ Stormy, to some much older sipping rums like Spirited Seas. This rum is already aged and ready to rock, but is then loaded onto a ship that takes it out to the mid Atlantic Ocean and back. One whole year of sloshing around in those barrels, intermingling with all that salty sea air, before returning home to be proofed down and bottled, on its way to you. Pull up a seat tonight and sample something that has crossed oceans, sat quietly in a barrel and finally arrived in your glass. Tonight only, you can sample this rarity for $5 per ounce, but only while supplies last.
