#Nipclub Winter Candle Light Hike January 29, 2026

We didn't order all the snow, ice and cold that much of the country is experiencing, but the timing is perfect for our winter candle light hike.

What is a Winter Candle light hike?

The hikes are usually held in state parks, nature centers, or local parks across the Midwest during January & February.

It's just like a normal hike, except that trails for Hiking, snowshoeing & skiing are lined by glowing candles or luminaries giving a magical and Romantic feeling to the evening

Burns Night Party January 22, 2026

We join with our Scottish #Nipclub pals to Burns Night, a celebration of Scottish poet Robert Burns and his contribution to Scottish culture. It is held on January 25th, the date of his birthday in 1759.

It's a night to wear tartans, listen to and play bagpipes & fiddles; sing traditional folk songs and recite Burns' poems (including Auld Lang Syne, a Burns poem set to music).

A highlight of the evening is the Burns Supper. It may be formal or informal, with the "star" of the evening being haggis, a meal of minced sheep's heart, liver & lungs, mixed with onion, oatmeal, suet and spices. Haggis is traditionally bound in the sheep's stomach for cooking. The haggis is served with tatties (potatoes) and neeps (turnips). The meal is often accompanied by fine domestic whiskey.

In a formal setting or where bagpipes are at hand, the haggis is brought in with much fanfare. After a tribute & toast to the haggis, it is opened and guests dig in.

Snowglobe Pawty January 15, 2026

Please drop any $ you can into the Tip Jar to help pets at Toronto Cat Rescue Every penny helps! Thanks!

Many of us in the US have already had a long hard winter. While we can't make it go away, we can find a way to go play outside yet not really be outside....we're brining out the snow globes again!

@TheNascarKitty & @DCKitty

One thing we had to work out, was how would the barktenders get your food and drinks to you (the music is easy. Our DJs broadcast directly to you, but food and drink? That was a problem. Luckily @Kittehboi called his Mom, who's an actual brilliant scientist and she made some tweaks to the teleportation system #NipClub owns to transport us to and from Rainbow Bridge for visits, so it could send food and drink directly to your snow globes.
