Went here for New Years πŸŽ‰πŸŽ† and maybe got here too early because it was lowkirkenuinly DEAD! It started to pick up though closer to midnight and from 11-12, it was a pretty good time. The DJ was late maybe and he had some strange mixes. Sometimes sounded like he didn’t know what song was coming next so he was just playing around with the skips. But when he chose a song it was lit, so I forgive him. Overall great night!

An amazing Jingle Bar! Such amazing staff and the decoration put you in such a Christmasy mood. There was a smaller group so the owner gave us a token to come back for free next time which was completely an unnecessary jesture! Will come back every year!

Such a fun experience! I went with 6 other friends to the Jingle Bar during family hour and we all had a great time. Plenty of activities, and decorations were amazing!! Would definitely recommend.

Went here for their “Jingle Bar”….worst Christmas experience ever! Don’t waste your money or time. Paid $25 per person to “reserve” a spot. But had to find a seat. There was a menu of “festive” themed blah drinks that were a full glass of ice, an oz of booze and maybe a half cup of juice….at an additional cost of $20 each. On top of that, after sitting there for a while waiting, asked one of the 6 or so elves to order and was told we had to go to the bar to order. Went to the bar and it was surrounded by about 30 people waiting to order. They had ONE bar tender who had no rhyme or reason to who she served. The “tasty treats” we’re literally granola bars and Welch snack packs. The holiday themed games were cheap dollar store games and no prizes as promised. And the best dressed contest never took place. After waiting 30 minutes and never getting served we bailed and went somewhere else. A total money grab and scam.
