Santa's Pub

Bar · 2225 Bransford Ave

A doublewide trailer strung with Christmas lights year-round, cash only, and home to Santa's Ice Cold Pickers every Sunday night.

Denzel Irwin, a former truck driver who looked the part and answered to Santa, opened the place in 2011 and ran it until his death in September 2025. His grandson Riley Ricketts reopened it a month later and has kept it as it was. Cash only, no foul language, no attitude.

Sunday is the music night. Santa's Ice Cold Pickers, longtime regulars who have held the slot for over a decade, play 7 to 9 with no cover and a tip jar. Guests sit in constantly, and they're frequently better known than the trailer lets on.
