Place was really dirty, trash all over the floor (mainly beer cans). The decor was really nice but the atmosphere was ruined by having people say things to me for bringing my daughter in to see the decorations (which on the fb page says it allows children till 8pm) or people just being absolutely rude shoving into you, just not a classy place in my opinion. Amateur night, college bar feel.

I always walk past this place during my lunch break & decided to finally give it a shot. Unfortunately it was crowded beyond comprehension (sure the fire code was broken). The drinks were on the pricey end, however you’re paying for the effort thats put into making them. It’s basically an decorated dive bar. It had potential to be an enjoyable experience if the there was proper space & seating. Giving it three stars for the decor & effort put into making my drinks.

Went downhill quick. Drinks way overpriced. Decorations no where near how they used to be. We were very disappointed. Opens at 4. We arrived 4:10 and one bathroom was absolutely 100% unusable if you get my drift. Disgusting. 🤢

Tinsel is such a fun and unique spot! The atmosphere is absolutely awesome — vibrant, festive, and full of great energy. The decorations are over the top in the best way, making it a perfect place for photos and a night out with friends. The drinks are delicious and creative, though a bit on the pricey side.
The staff is friendly and keeps the vibe upbeat, and the whole experience feels like a little holiday escape no matter the season. Definitely worth checking out for the amazing ambiance and fun drinks!

The bar is super cute and the decor was excellent. However there is no seating and it was very hot.

The vibe is like if the grinch had stolen Christmas and kept it. Filled with decor but no love. His heart never grew 3 sizes. The place has nothing to do, you just kinda feel crammed and look at the walls. The staff aren’t friendly, they dont want to be there, esp the person checking IDs - so upon entering you already feel unwelcome. Drinks are overpriced. Kinda stole away the holiday cheer.

Cute Christmas pop up bar. Drinks are very expensive!! Great to pop in have a drink and take a few pictures. Not a place I'd hang out at all night. Went during the week which was not crowded and we got to really appreciate all the decor.

We went to see Tinsel for Christmas (12/21) and we must have beat the rush. You walk up a narrow hallway and have to push past people coming out. When you get inside you’re hip to hip with people until you can find the stairs to go up. Upstairs? Same thing as downstairs but 1000° warmer. Bought 2 drinks (Vodka, Redbull, and Cranberry) expecting them to come in a collectible cup since they were $18….and when we got them they were cheap plastic with a paper label that was melting away as we drank them. Our total was $44 for two drinks. Beyond insane to me. We got our drinks and ended up making our way back out to which the bouncer moved inside so the line of people was now in the narrow hallway to get out. We ended up trashing out drinks anyways because they just tasted like dirty water. It was decorated super festively and looked nice but glad I got to see it once because I don’t think I’ll be going back.
This place is pretty special - it's full of hand-crafted decorations that are clearly a labor of love. It feels homey unlike so many of the commercial holiday-themed stuff. Service is great, and you get to keep a Santa boot cup

Just left because although it's holiday decorated and touts itself as a holiday bar when we walked in they immediately told us they couldn't make A SINGLE holiday drink of their holiday menu, so we left.

I had good experiences at tinsel before Christmas, but I went today on December 27 and was told that “they were out of everything“ there was no holiday menu available, no holiday drinks, no special holiday mugs with flaming holiday marshmallows. I was truly disappointed. They were not even able to provide me with wine. The only thing available were basic well drinks and ciders. I really feel that the bar should be stocked to provide holiday drinks until the closing date of December 31. I will not be coming back after Christmas anymore. just close the bar on Christmas Day if the holiday menu is not available anymore. It is only festive before the holidays. The decorations are great, but as for the menu …very lacking.

Cool atmosphere and decor was indeed Christmas BUT beware of price of drinks!!! 2 Miller lights a hot chocolate drink and a surf side $55 crazy 🤪 didn’t eat there obviously

I want my money back. They didn’t refund $10 entry. Absolutely shameful. It is a scam the worst christmas club bar not what was advertised. I lost $20 on some fairy lights. bouncers were giving refunds outside and refused to return my money. If i could give 0 stars i would.
