I think we were at a disadvantage being there right before Final Four and it was rainy, probably a different vibe during other times. I had a hard time knowing who the host was, walking by her twice... finally just sitting at the bar and getting service there. Bar staff was friendly enough. Again, they just seemed like getting ready for the weekend.

Fun Tiki experience. Good drinks. Hostess problematic but did not detract from experience once seated.

Made a reservation after 9pm on a Monday night. Had a really hard time finding the place, we ended up walking around their massive patio, tugging on doors until we found one that unlocked and led us into the actual bar. We were greeted by a bartender who immediately told us that the only tables available were outdoors (it had been raining all day). The place was gorgeous and had a great energy. We didn't end up staying, as there were no tables, bar top was full & no standing room. We were upset that our reservation was able to be accepted, when the place was obviously at max capacity.

During our visit, Hugman's was doing “Sippin' Santa.” This would be fine if it were only an option, but not having the restaurant's regular menu was really disappointing. Sippin' Santa occurs at bars all over the country...so we weren't here for that, we wanted to experience what Hugman's had to offer while we were in town. They wouldn't even offer up the normal Hugman's merch when I asked. The Sippin Santa drinks were mediocre and didn't feel up to par with drinks expected at a tiki bar. Did not try the food.

The service was seriously lacking and I felt like the servers did not want to be there working. Not once did anyone greet me or say welcome or explain the menu. I check my party in at the host stand, was walked inside and seated at a table. A server came by and handed my table menus and walked away. The male bartender behind the bar was explaining to a customer that he hated the menu, and said you all decided to start the pop up too early and were ending it too late. Personality, I have enjoyed finding the pop-up bars and trying new drinks and enjoy the decorations. The staff just did not seem happy at all. The host from outside came in once and checked on everyone and asked if we were alright. No one else. It was like here's the Menus, order, get items, then get out. I went to miracle the other day and the staff there had a completely different attitude and made the experience memorable. Not sure if I will be back to this location for the Christmas theme pop up or when the regular menu is offered.

We went here for their sippin Santa pop up bar and had a fun time. Great atmosphere and drink menu. One drink we ordered was extremely unbalanced but the rest were good. The staff was nice, fast and accommodating. Prices were a bit high but consistent with surrounding bars for the touristy area.

We wanted to love it but service was horribly slow. We were a bigger table and went to the bar several times asking to get drinks. Not sure if they were short staffed but we spent way too long there to only get one drink. My husband came in a few times and three bartenders were just talking to one patron. They missed out on a lot of money from us.

I want to love this place. I have been there several times in an effort to... But I just can't. The service is terrible. Every. Single. Time. It has the opportunity to be amazing. Location, ambiance, concept... But they are just absolutely killing themselves with the slow service. This past time I wanted more than 30 minutes for a drink that I paid for, that I eventually left without ever receiving. Seriously such a disappointment.

We were waiting for 20 minutes for the hostess to come back to seat us and they never came. I usually wouldn’t mind a wait, but the bar was basically empty and there were three bar tenders behind the bar not doing anything.
