The best part? The Miracle pop-up bars are located across the world. This year, Miracle bars will appear in about 90 locations in the U.S. and in countries like Canada, England, Mexico, New Zealand and Panama.
The bar first opened in 2014 in New York City. After its success, the bar grew to about 50 locations in 2017, then later adding on another 40 in 2018, according to the press release.
