To celebrate the holiday season, East Austin Bar launched a 90s-themed festive party called Nostalgic Noel. Fans of this era and its pop culture icons such as the Rug Rats, Furbee, The Ninja Turtles, and more can now re-live their youth in a new holiday pop-up dedicated to everything retro.

East Austin Bar's Nostalgic Noel event offers uniquely beverages including 'Hot Buttered Battle Cat' that "will surely give you the power of Greyskull with a kick of rum and holiday spices" in addition to other themed cocktails inspired by Jem & the Holograms, Fraggle Rock, and My Pet Monster. This retro party also features NES games, coloring books, Pogs, and a 'Seek and Say' wheel modeled after the iconic one featured in the cartoon show Dexter's Laboratory.

This epic, vintage-inspired party will officially launch on Thursday, December 19th at 8 pm.
