   The good- the atmosphere, decor, bar service (they are so nice!) and love the guy outside who gives the lantern. He’s really fun! The suggestions- love the smoke but needs to be toned down just a bit. The music- it was bad last nite! Too mellow and doesn’t put you in the mood! Needs to be Halloween music! And lastly- the 5$ reservation fee. Although optional, it’s overkill when we were able to add people on to our party for no charge. Puked gave just been 5$ yo reserve the table. But I paid 15 for 3 people when I was able to add on more at No chg. I’d reccd a base table reservation fee.

   Disappointed I had to reserve per person and could have just red weed $5 per table especially when drinkers were $13 each and watered down syrup at best Fog was way too thick actually hard to see as irritating to eyes Way to overpriced for lack of ambiance as well did not even have fun Halloween spooky music playing . Idea is fun but food needs to be served just like snacks and drinks need to be improved 10 times if you are charging $13 per drink which is ridiculous honestly and the reservation fee should go toward the bill at least or bring it down from per person $5 to per table Really overall so very disappointed Had so much potential and fell so short Staff was great though no issues at all with the staff

   Drinks pricey for Topeka plus the $5 cover this year. More Decorations thus year which we enjoyed.

   Very disappointing. I had high hopes for this experience. The drinks were terrible and overpriced (after we paid $5 each already to even go in) - however, I wouldn't have minded the price so much if the drinks were actually made by a mixologist and tasted good. The seating/setup was also terrible - it had a banquet/restaurant vibe when it should have been cocktail tables / high tops to step up the vibe. The music should have been clubby/house or something of the sort to help the vibe as well. Overall, terrible and would not ever do again.

   Was fine. We waited for our drinks. They were never brought to us and the bartender said oh I didn’t know if you wanted them.

   Been to a lot of pop up bars but this one was a not very good experience. I took my staff paid for what was advertised as a VIP experience. I paid $125 entry for the 6 of us and they had the "Seance" set up almost like a time out booth. No enter action. No perks for paying 5 X more entry. They gave us a very small potion bottle drink when we walked in as our VIP award apparently. I would have never paid the extra money if I would have known it was for absolute nothing. If there's no entertainment then the crowd is your atmosphere so why would you separate it

   This was our first year going and unfortunately after the $5 reservation fee that I thought would go towards our end bill is actually a donation to apparition. The drinks were not of quality at all, I don’t mind the price for them but I had hoped they’d be better. We had one and left. Hope they fix some of those things for next year.

   This was a seasonal pop up cocktail bar, no food or small bites. The drinks were original and fun. Menu was hard to read in the dark, lol. Atmospheres was appropriately spooky if a bit cheesy, and the creative curtain walk way made a small space feel like a labyrinth. Staff was helpful and did a great job.
