Pittsburgh Holiday Pop-Up Bars To Benefit Charitable Cause

PITTSBURGH, PA — Shorty's North Shore and Waterfront locations are launching pop-up bars for the holiday season that will benefit a worthy cause. Shorty's Santa Shop will launch on Friday and will run through Jan. 2.

The venues will be adorned with more than 100 yards of wrapping paper and 1,000 ornaments and twinkling lights. There will be themed areas such as Guests can explore themed areas including “Under the Tree,” featuring festive holiday decor; “Candy Cane Lane,” where candy canes come in all shapes and sizes; and “Winter Wonderland,” filled with icicles, snowflakes and snowmen; and “Christmas Enchanted Forest,” a magical space filled with Christmas trees and ornaments of all sizes.

While the Santa Shops are in operation, Shorty’s is partnering with the Foster Love Project to host a bag drive supporting their mission to help children entering foster care with few or no belongings.

Each year, more than 15,000 children in Pennsylvania alone are served by the foster care system, many of whom are placed in homes with little more than a few items in a plastic bag. The Foster Love Project provides bags to children at the time of placement to reassure them that they and their belongings are not disposable. Guests who donate a new bag will receive a $20 Shorty’s gift card.
