Went for a pop up bar and had a very enjoyable time. The food and drinks were good. The decorations were done well, even the ceiling was decorated facilitating the fun atmosphere. Drinks were themed and served with dry ice for effect or fake eyeballs... the only thing that was a bit of a let down was the entertainment. The microphone didn't work well, his songs were difficult to understand...but his enthusiasm carried us thru. Overall, a fun evening out ?

They know how to make a cocktail ! And the food is really tasty too. We sat outside and the ambiance is very nice . Highly recommend.
We had come here for Grinch pop up and was expecting dinner which was simply bar food and drinks. Food was mediocre. I was also told my party of 7 could not be sat together and had that expectation coming in however disappointed to see two other larger parties sat together at same tables. The grinch however was extremely entertaining and funny. He made up for the shortest of the venue and food

I was blown away by the decor. Great hall vibes for the Hogwarts popup. Drinks were strong. Loved that they have a mocktail selection and desserts.Can't wait for their next pop up concept.

Took my wife to the Harry Potter night. First thing we noticed was our waitress was sick as a dog. It was a little disturbing watching her wipe her nose then serve our food n drink. The mixed drinks were horrible. The second drink my wife got she couldn’t even drink it it was that bad. The frozen wontons that were heated up in the microwave were horrible. We had to cut our time short n head over to Croxleys for real food n drinks.

Came to this location for a “Mr. Grinch Christmas Pop-Up”. We paid $30 per person x 4 people so $120 just for seats to sit at the pop up which we thought included a show. None of this included food. When we got there the place was small. It was cute and decorated but nothing like I had expected from photos online. I was very disappointed by the fact that their was not a full menu. The food menu consisted of only 6 bar food items (pretzels, egg rolls, chips, hummus, mini pizza). We only ordered two alcoholic drinks which were $15 each and so strong you couldn’t even drink it. If you ask for a drink without alcohol you are still charged the same amount. In total we paid $150 for bar “food” not including the tip and this was on top of the $120 we paid just to sit there for the “show” and seats. The show was probably the worst part of it all. I was extremely disappointed when I realized my $120 went down the drain as soon as the grinch came out an hour after we were seated. The grinch sang one song for 2 minutes and then spent the last 30 minutes taking pictures with people and then sang one other song for 2 minutes right at the end. You can NOT charge people $30 per person x 4 = $120 for a show and seats and then play 2 songs for 5 minutes. That’s absolutely insane and then to charge us $150 for food on top of it??!?? We literally spent $300 last night for 4 people to eat bar finger foods and watch somebody dressed up in a grinch costume sing for legit 5 minutes. What a gimmick. I feel absolutely robbed. I will post photos because I essentially paid for the photos at this point because I guess this place is just for influencers to take pictures to show “look where I was during the holidays, while you weren’t” type vibe. So yes come here if you want to pay $300 for subpar bar food and pictures with the grinch and cute decor, but if you are expecting a show you will get 2 songs…

We came here for the Nightmare Before Christmas show. It was awesome! We had a great time and the actors were great! Food was just frozen finger foods and the drinks were all batch cocktails but overall, it was a great atmosphere and I would do it again next year.

Went to the Jacks Nightmare Pop Up and had an awesome time
Vegetarian options: Vegan Nacho Wontons were delicious and the Bavarian Pretzels were gigantic. Themed drinks were delicious too.

The photos that are attached to this one speakeasy Noo longer apply... looks like they are under a complete reconstruction of the interior. The drinks were good but the cool ambiance of the old style speakeasy is gone.
Alibi Lounge feels like your local Youth Pastor made a cocktail lounge. The decor feels like someone went to IKEA and said “this looks hip” then bought the store out and threw it together hastily. The drinks are tasty; but uninspiring.We had the strawberry gin smash (missing garnish) and the skid row. Good hot summer night cocktails for sure; but definitely felt like I could’ve got these at Applebees and nobody would’ve known any better.Two stars feels low; but three stars feels too high.Plus side: band was really good!

Excellent drinks, perfect place to start off the night. Seems like the perfect spot to go with a couple friends to drink and talk.
Went in tonight after not being there for a few years. There was no longer a speak easy entrance, you walk right into the main room. All the furniture was off to each side and the decor was no longer there. Also, there were no customers. What happened to this place?
