Miracle on Maryland pop-up bar set to bring holiday spectacle to downtown Indianapolis 

 Miracle on Maryland, a Christmas pop-up bar bringing an over-the-top holiday experience to downtown Indianapolis, will open Nov. 17 at 15 E. Market Street.  

The bar is part of the internationally known Miracle brand, which operates in more than 200 cities worldwide and is debuting in Indianapolis for the first time. 

The space will be transformed with floor-to-ceiling lights, vintage tinsel, snow-covered décor, festive photo ops, and themed nights throughout the season. Organizers say the goal is to create a fully immersive environment rooted in nostalgia and holiday excitement. 

“Each year, we aim to make Miracle feel like coming home for the holidays — just with brighter lights, a sense of escapism and a one-of-a-kind cocktail in every hand,” said Greg Boehm, founder of Miracle. “For 2025, we’ve taken things even further with inventive new drinks and playful, standout glassware. What we love most is how Miracle connects people from all over the world together through shared moments of joy and kitschy nostalgia. It’s more than just a pop-up — it’s a holiday tradition.” 

The 2025 menu includes new specialty cocktails and returning favorites such as the Christmapolitan and Snowball Old-Fashioned. Non-alcoholic options, including the Snow Day Sipper and Silent Night, will also be available.

Miracle on Maryland will feature themed nights beginning opening week. Weekly events include Sunday ugly sweater parties with a live DJ. A Miracle Giveback Night on Dec.14 will offer free entry for guests who donate a toy benefiting VOICES Corporation. A costume contest with a cash prize is scheduled for Dec. 18. 

Local musicians and DJs will perform throughout the season, and the venue is booking private events for corporate and social gatherings.  

“Indianapolis has always known how to celebrate the season, but Miracle on Maryland brings something entirely new to the mix,” said Brenden Mikulak, event director for Miracle on Maryland. “We’re creating a place where holiday nostalgia meets Indy’s vibrant social scene — a space for friends, families, and coworkers to start new traditions right here in the heart of the city.” 

Miracle on Maryland runs Nov. 17 through Dec. 25. Reservations are encouraged, and group booking inquiries can be made at 463-243-0672.

Minority Business Highlight: FyBro

Founded by Indianapolis native Aaron Russell, FyBro is a new premium men’s grooming system. 

The Fybro is a stick-on hairline stencil designed to give men fresh hairlines in between haircuts. The first of its kind, FyBro is not meant to replace going to the barber, just allow men to achieve a fresh line in between cuts, Russell said.

“There are so many celebrities and athletes and TV personalities who actually will fly their barbers in just to get a hair line up,” Russell said. “We’re not trying to get rid of barbers. … We love the barbers, but it is a way to save money.” 

READ MORE: Minority Business Highlight: Silver in the City

Russell first got the idea for the hairline stencil in the spring of 2022 after failing to find anything similar on the market. Once he had a design, Russell applied for the Impact Indiana PitchFeast competition in 2023 and ended up winning a $10,000 grant to put toward his business. 

After designing several prototypes and locking down a manufacturer, the FyBro was finally ready in the winter of 2023. However, it wasn’t until early 2025 that the product started to really take off — especially on social media, Russell said.

FyBro doesn’t just offer hairline stencils; customers can choose from a variety of box kits, which include the FyBro-branded spray-on hairline fibers, holding spray and an applicator pump in addition to beard line and side stencils. 

For more information about FyBro or to view products, visit thefybro.com. Select products are also sold on the Fybro Amazon Storefront. To get in contact, email info@thefrybro.com or call 317-652-4976.
