Review Miracle at Henrietta Covent Garden
Covent Garden is one of London’s most popular tourist spots at the best of times, let alone at Christmas when the snow falls on the hour over the crowds gathering around the Christmas tree. Though, don’t miss visiting London’s Covent Garden Christmas bar!
Miracle Christmas Bar is located in the heart of Covent Garden at The Henrietta Hotel. The Miracle Christmas Bar is a pop-up London bar for Christmas, with locations worldwide, and this year Miracle London is open from the 11th November 2024 – 23rd December 2024.
However, there’s no sneaking in unless you have a reservation or manage to snag yourself a walk-in at Miracle Bar!
How to Get a Table at Miracle at Henrietta Christmas Bar London
Getting a table is a Christmas miracle in itself!
As the intro suggests, booking a table at Miracle at Henrietta Christmas Bar in London is not the easiest process, but it certainly isn’t impossible if you take heed of my tips in this post:
Book a Table for Miracle Christmas Bar in Advance!
Your sign to book a table at Miracle at Henrietta is as soon as the leaves start to change colour in Autumn, which may seem early but you’ll thank me later! Particularly, as Christmas seems to start as soon as Halloween is over these days…
Basically, the earlier you try and book a table at Miracle, the better your chances of sipping on Christmassy cocktails in a warm setting after braving the cold walking London’s Christmas lights trail!
Visit Miracle at Henrietta in November
Once December arrives your chances of getting a table at Miracle diminishes as tourists descend on the London Christmas markets. November is the best time to get a table at Miracle in the Henrietta Hotel, as you can be sipping cocktails from festive mugs, whilst people gather at firework displays holding sparklers! As someone who is not a fan of fireworks (I wish they’d ban them to be honest!), I know where I’d rather be!
An optimum time to visit is when the Miracle pop-up bar first opens in mid-November.
Get Merry Midweek at Miracle Christmas Bar
If Christmas gives you the perfect excuse to eat chocolate for breakfast (mine’s a chocolate orange…), then you’ll probably need no persuading to get merry midweek at Miracle Bar.
Visiting Miracle at Henrietta midweek is one of your best chances of securing a table; when it’s quieter with fewer tourists and the rest of the city is working, which I think makes the cocktails taste even better!
Miracle at Henrietta Walk-ins
Can’t get a reservation at Miracle at Henrietta? You may be pleased to know there are a limited amount of daily walk-in slots available at Miracle. I’d recommend visiting before lunchtime or between lunchtime and dinner during quieter lull periods during the day, as after 5 pm you’ll find it less likely to bag a table!
Stay at The Henrietta Hotel Covent Garden
Whilst there’s no guarantee, if you’re staying in London at Christmas, why not check availability to book a room at The Henrietta Hotel? The Miracle London pop-up bar is located within The Henrietta Hotel, therefore if you’re looking for a London hotel to stay during the festive period anyway, staying at The Henrietta Hotel can only increase your chances of booking a table or getting a walk-in at Miracle Christmas bar, in my humble opinion.
If all else fails getting a table at Miracle Christmas Bar
Tried all the above options and still can’t get a table at Miracle at Henrietta?! There’s only one thing to do and it’s not to turn into Scrooge! The spirit of Christmas is still alive! All you need to do is click the reservation link for Miracle at Henrietta daily to see if some slots become available:

Get Merry at Miracle at Henrietta London Pop-up Christmas Bar
Congratulations, if you’ve read this far, you’re hopefully one of the lucky ones with a Miracle reservation! Cheers to you, as the hard work is now thankfully over!
Visiting Miracle at Henrietta takes me back to my childhood, an 80’s child growing up in the 90’s with cheesy songs, colourful Christmas decorations and images that make you feel like you’ve entered the set of Stranger Things – If Joyce Byers hosted Christmas then this would be it!
Check out my Instagram Reel:
As soon as you climb the stairs to Miracle Bar you’re thrust into a merry mayhem of Christmas cheer that you won’t want to leave! Make the most of it though, as each table slot is only available for 1 hour and 45 minutes!
You may also discover you have to share your table as we did! Luckily, we were sat with the loveliest ladies, a Mum and Daughter on a Christmas trip to London and we chatted up such a storm that I almost forgot to film the bar in action!
Miracle Christmas Cocktails in London’s Covent Garden
The best thing about getting Christmas drinks in London at Miracle Bar is that all the cocktails are served in 70’s retro mugs with the coolest Christmas cocktail names!
Enjoy Christmas cocktails in t-rex, unicorn, Santa mugs and more! My favourite was the Marshmallows & Unicorns cocktail, give me a sweet cocktail with marshmallows any day!
Christmas cocktails at Miracle are priced between £13 – £16, which is to be expected for London prices, though depending on the cocktail ordered, some of the servings are a little on the small side! Though, you are paying for drinks in a novelty bar…
Service can be a little on the slow side, so given the tight timescale, I’d recommend getting the drinks in at the earliest opportunity to ensure you make the most of your table timeslot.
There’s also a selection of snacks to nibble on with your cocktails (we ordered truffle fries). Ideally, it would be great to see Miracle expand to a more festive menu, though limitations in terms of timeslots may be preventing this.
Is Miracle at Henrietta Worth it?
By now, you’re probably gagging for Christmas drinks in London and wondering whether Miracle at Henrietta is worth it?! If you love Christmas, then it certainly is!
The staff are all in good spirits, dressed up and ready to make a merry experience for guests!
Miracle at Henrietta is the perfect pitstop after enjoying a London Christmas lights walking tour or enjoying the many free festive things to do in London – eat, drink and be merry at Miracle!
I hope this post has helped you get in the festive spirit and if you enjoyed this post be sure to share this magical merry Miracle bar post and check out my other London posts and beyond below!
