Press and Pony opened its holiday takeover in Boise on Monday, November 2, 2026. The bar has fully decorated the space for the season, marking the start of its festive operations for 2026.

The venue gained national attention during the 2025 holiday season. Lines formed outside the door almost every night it was open. Online reactions to the interior design and drink menu drove the surge in local traffic.

The bar offers a specific menu for this period. Last year, patrons could order cold beverages, hot beverages, and other holiday-themed drinks. The establishment maintains this variety for the 2026 season.

Owner Press and Pony staffed the bar with a dedicated holiday theme. The decor covers the entire interior, creating a distinct atmosphere separate from the venue's standard appearance. The business aims to replicate the high foot traffic seen in the previous year.

The takeover began immediately following the Halloween holiday. While many residents wait until after Thanksgiving, the bar started its seasonal operations earlier in November. Customers can visit the location to experience the holiday setup now.

The venue serves as a central spot for holiday celebrations in the Treasure Valley. The bar encourages guests to visit early due to the popularity of the 2025 event. The 2026 season is currently active and open to the public.
