Craftsman Row Saloon has launched its 6th Annual Mardi Gras Pop-Up Experience,and the transformation is absolute.The owners have scrubbed every trace of their famous Christmas pop-up and replaced it with thousands of glittery beads,feathers,and masquerade masks.
Inside the Transformation
This isn't just a few streamers on the wall. The space has been reimagined as a immersive tribute to the Big Easy.
- The Vibe: The dining room features a "Bourbon Street" aesthetic with hanging street signs, umbrellas suspended from the ceiling, and jazz instruments woven into the decor.
- The Details: There is a "speakeasy" section draped in green, purple, and gold fabrics, and the exterior of the building is illuminated in Mardi Gras colors.
- The Soundtrack: Forget the Top 40. The playlist is strictly NOLA jazz, brass band classics, and even a few Mummers favorites to keep it Philly.
"More Bling Than Ever"
"We went even more over the top," said co-owner George Tsiouris. "This is the most elaborate and the most decor we have ever done for Mardi Gras."
Whether you need a new profile picture or just want to escape the winter grey for a few hours of gold and purple, this is the most colorful spot in town right now.
The pop-up runs daily through Fat Tuesday (February 17). Reservations are highly recommended via OpenTable.
