Santas Hideout Downey Holiday Pop up Bar

The vibes and atmosphere was amazing. Perfect event to celebrate the spooky season. I can’t wait until the Christmas one. I didn’t get a chance to go last year so I’m definitely gonna make it out this year!!

Was very excited to go, but was definitely disappointed and felt SCAMMED!

They lure you in by giving you “free tickets” when you book on Eventbrite, but when you get to the door they charge you an entrance fee, we paid $14 each. The place is pretty small even though they advertise it as big. We got drinks- they were pretty good. We also ordered a bunch of food and they gave us a number, so we go in and got ourselves a table. Immediately right after we sit at a very small table, a waitress comes and says we aren’t allowed to sit at the tables without a reservation???? and says we have to go stand in the back at the bar area and use THOSE tables, which are already taken because there’s only like 4. Like they want you to eat standing up?! Hold your food and drinks in your hands and eat at the same time?! 🤣 we went to the front and tried to cancel the food since we didn’t want to eat standing up and the manager took us back to the same table we had, said it was ok to use it….
At this point the vibe was off and we didn’t really enjoy it.

The music was very loud, the playlist had a lot to be desired, definitely not Halloween themed.

We finished our food and left. Will never be coming back.

We went the Saturday before Halloween, we waited 40 min in line before 10pm. It was hot inside. Bathrooms were disgusting. And the server girls were RUDE. We spent $100 on a fish bowl drink you can’t even keep the cool cup. We asked front door gal- whom seemed like she was the manager if we could sit down at a table since a lot were open- she said yes no problem. Two servers came up and rudely told us to move and then went to ask her. We had the run around for 20 min and it was so annoying. All because we didn’t purchase a drink with that server she was upset. Also m76 to get in. (4) of us. We wouldn’t go back because of the rude servers and how sticky it was inside. Also we left as the same time the “manager” did & he sped off driving like a jerk in his Nissan car maybe he was drunk. 🤣

Great drinks great atmosphere got right in got a table and ordered drinks a little pricey but worth it

It was awesomely decorated! Every inch detailed with Halloween themed decorations this time a year. Every type of prop you can think of. From paint to hanging decorations to animatronics. Super cool. The atmosphere was also very cool. Cool, chill and fun vibes from all the people and staff. The Dj was playing great music! Everything he was mixing was a jam and he had everyone dancing the whole time. The food was ok. Average, but on the good side as far as bar food goes. The drinks were cool and fun since they all had Halloween type names and theme. The prices were a bit high, but what you would expect for any place like a club now a days. Drinks average $16 each. Food items vary. Overall experience is awesome! Also there is no cover just RSVP online!

It was surprisingly FUN. Mr Art The Clown was scary but such a vibe, he interacted with everyone & took as many pictures as we wanted! The drinks were DELICIOUS, our table girl was super energetic, attentive & a good hostess!. The DJ was playing the right music!! Mixed it up with old school, new music & Spanish!..

Was super excited to visit this place and it turned out to be a fail. You have to reserve a table to be able to be able to sit down! When we asked how to do that one person said through eventbrite and another said you have to message them on IG 😮‍💨 we just got the run around for about 45 mins. People at the bar area hog the tables so you cant even eat there either! So annoying! Drinks were okay but all we were really looking forward to was the food and experience.

They tell you to make a reservation to get in but make you wait an hour in line. The website says no ins and outs but they were letting everyone back in. The Mexican security guy was rude. This white guy who thought he owned the place was cussing at friend bcuz security told him he can go in but white dude had a problem with it for some reason. The bar was over crowded. Lines for the restroom. Everything was expensive. Totally bad experience.

From the moment you pull up to 11402 Old River School Road, you can tell this isn’t your everyday bar. The setting is transformed into a Halloween playground: moody lighting, spine‑tingling décor, ghostly silhouettes, and thematic touches that lean into the spooky without going full horror movie (though if you want that, they’ve got it). 
As the sky darkens, the place comes alive: DJ sets spin eerie and energetic tracks, the lights flicker just so, and the crowd gets into character. It’s playful Halloween theatre. Expect cocktails with creative names, “haunted” garnish, maybe some dry ice or fog, and bites that fit the theme. It’s less about haute cuisine and more about fun presentation and good enough flavor to keep you sipping. The pop‑up doesn’t skimp on visuals. There are curated photo zones (graveyards, skeletons, fog machines, dramatic lighting) that are perfect for Instagram or just capturing Halloween memories. Plus, there are live performances and DJs to keep the energy high. Entry prices vary by day: Thursdays & Sundays are cheaper, while Fridays & Saturdays command a higher price. If you’re looking for a Halloween‑season night out that’s equal parts spectacle, atmosphere, and fun, Beyond the Grave delivers. You’ll get memorable visuals, a lively crowd, themed drinks and bites, and something Instagram‑worthy around every corner.
