I had a hot cocoa with vodka that was extremely watered down… no one bothered to shake the canister of premade packet cocoa. The chicken (and waffles) was like eating rubber, and we never got our syrup with it. The ambiance was amazing.

It was a very cute and fun date night. The food selections were somewhat limited, so I would plan on having dinner before or after visiting. The drinks were somewhat small but good. The price was what we would expect for the city. The servers and bartender were attentive and helpful.

I was absolutely appalled at this experience. First off, I called the morning of the day we were going to simply ask if there was a food/apps menu for the pop up bar since I couldn’t find anything online. The employee immediately cut me off mid sentence and rudely said the bar is reservation only before even answering my question. That was the first turn off. Upon arriving to the bar, we walked in and it was virtually dead in there. Maybe two tables and a few people sitting at the bar. One thing that weirded me out right away was how the only thing you could hear were people’s conversations - don’t you think a Halloween themed bar would be playing Halloween music or any music at all? I guess not. The only thing on was the TV playing silently, looked like a weird inappropriate movie. Just odd vibes overall in there. We were sat at a table and waited over 20 minutes for one of the two employees in the building to come up to us. It confused me so much because it was not busy at all and they were just standing behind the bar making drinks SO slowly and looking like they had no idea what they were doing. Finally got our two drinks and by that point, all we wanted was to pay the bill and leave.

The speakeasy itself is really nice and I would visit again. We specifically went for Halloween and found the decorations and drinks extremely underwhelming. I would add a lot more decor and increase the music volume.

Decor/theming seemed pretty low-effort compared to other Halloween pop-ups. The bartender did not seem particularly experienced which I guess makes sense for a cocktail popup at a brewery.

Had 9:30 reservations to see the Halloween pop up bar but it was very plain & a bit underwhelming compared to other Halloween themed bars. Alsoooo kitchen was closed so didn’t get to order food :/ drinks tasted good though! Also we were the only people in the bar, was no other costumers.

Drinks were good and service overall accommodating. It was difficult to locate this place, which I understand it is a speakeasy, but most have more instructions I have experienced. The atmosphere was a bit unsettling since no music was playing, so it kind of felt eerily quiet. Took awhile to be seated, even with a reservation. Manager was a bit strange.

We really enjoyed the bar and the Halloween themed space and drinks. The only issue is that they didn’t have our table as we had reserved and we sat at the bar. Having said that, we did enjoy sitting at the bar. The bartenders were great and the drinks were exceptional. I can’t wait to go back when they have decorated for Christmas.
