Paper Doll Pop is a joke. Yeah, the drinks slap, but the service is absolute garbage. I had to sit there waving my damn hand like I was trying to order tater tots in a high school cafeteria just to get the bartender’s attention. My server was apparently living in Narnia or hiding in the back room for many minutes at a time.

And don’t get me started on the music. They hype up this app where you get to pick the songs, but then the staff hijacks it to play their own lame playlist while my songs music videos are still playing on the TVs like some kind of bad lip-sync battle. What’s the point? It’s messy, it’s lazy, and it’s unprofessional.

Drinks alone don’t save a place that runs like a Dollar Tree knockoff nightclub.

What a fantastic experience. Went for cocktails and the customer service stunned me to say the least. The owner personally spent time with us celebrating me and my wife's anniversary.

I was really disappointed with the changes after the remodel. It now reminds me of Continental Drift with the bright colors and poppy theme. This used to be one of my favorite spots - it had such a unique vibe: dark, cozy, and perfect for enjoying excellent craft cocktails. Now, the menu is generic (i.e. lemon drop, basil smash, old fashioned) and even the drinks themselves miss the mark in flavor. The new atmosphere aims for energetic and fun, but music and TVs competing, it’s lost the intimate charm it once had. The bartender was attentive and friendly, which was a plus, but unfortunately that was the only plus of the visit. Sorry to see the old Paper Doll go away. Super disappointing. Someone in the comments mentioned it was a place you might end the evening on, I think I would have to agree.

Trey was an incredible bartender. Even kept an eye on a situation involving unwanted attention.

Also! Ask him about drinks he likes to make. I can't remember the name, but my drink was delicious!

I used to LOVE this place. But they did a remodel and took away everything I loved 😭 it’s no longer a refined and cozy vibe with impressive craft cocktails, it’s more of a mix of all things pop and trendy with a generic bar menu. It made me so sad. We did stay and try to give it a chance but it just wasn’t for us.

I used to love this place, but the redesign is completely different. If your vibe is the old Paper Doll, the new spot may not be for you.

Great bar! Tonight was our first time visiting and you could tell it was a lot busier than usual due to a wedding part followed by Drag-Bingo. A couple of our orders were wrong but after notifying someone it was quickly fixed. All in all great atmosphere, decent food, fun drinks, and friendly staff. I will definitely be going again!

I really enjoyed this bar. It is so pretty inside. The music selection is a great mix between pop music, r&b, and much more. The drinks were good! Mine came in a cute little cat. They have board games you can play while enjoying your drink. 10/10 I would recommend.

I'm not sure if they have different decor for different nights, but the vibe here is definitely different than what the photos on Google show. The walls are painted with off-the-wall semi-psychedelic artwork and neon lights. My friends and I still had a great time but the drinks were only ok and the prices felt high for what we ordered. It's a place you go to towards the end of a night out.
