Drink and Be Merry

About This Movie

Drink and Be Merry unfolds in this gritty New York dive bar that feels like a character in itself. Set against the backdrop of the holiday season in 2019, it captures the bittersweet essence of camaraderie among misfits.

The performances are raw and authentic, with a lived-in quality that grounds the narrative. You definitely sense the world around them, thanks to some effective practical effects and set design, which adds to that dive bar vibe.
