Definitely worth it if you’re into the show Arcane, wouldn’t get your hopes up as far as the drinks go, they were good enough for what they should be. But I wouldn’t pay 20$ again for them. Especially since the vials themselves are cheaply made and broke as soon as we got home, the bottom portion of the plastic broke off and you can clearly see by the glue-work that it wasn’t made properly. Staff was amazing, super friendly and quick, the shop itself looks good but nothing too insane. Personally, reservations (which ARE required) are not needed, it’s such a quick in and out experience unless you’re getting merch. Most people were in and out within 20-25 minutes so having to book a reservation is a bit over the top. Overall 7/10, great for what it is the first time, not dying to go back, especially with the hassle and fee of a reservation.
