Bazár Tapas Bar & Restaurant.

Worth it, says Antonina. It’s one of the best bars open on Christmas Eve in NYC and hosts an event you’re not going to want to miss.

  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

If you have an ugly holiday sweater you’ve been dying to wear all season put that baby on and head to Bazár Tapas Bar. It’s one of the best bars open on Christmas Eve in NYC and hosts an event you’re not going to want to miss.

From 9 pm to 1 am on Christmas Eve the bar will be holding an ugly sweater party that encourages folks to celebrate. The holidays in style. Bazár Tapas is also one of the only bars open on Christmas in NYC that still has reservations available. Try to book them early enough so you don’t have to deal with a line!

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
