    I had never been to a Sippin' Santa pop up, but had always wanted to go to one. 🎅This year it was held at the Grass Skirt tiki lounge in Pacific Beach, which I had always wanted to go to as well. I had read the reviews and knew it was going to be pricey and the food portions would be on the smaller side (going by the reviews), but I really enjoyed both the drink I got and the food I had (lettuce wrap shrimp and non alcoholic Pina colada). I just really loved the decor/vibe and fun Christmas music they were playing. Our waitress was nice and the Tiki mugs were fun. My friend really enjoyed her drinks (the bird of paradise and the one in the shark tiki mug and the pork bao bun). The women's bathroom had cute decor-think flamingos and a tropical theme. The only downsides were the fire pit in the middle with the 'skulls' wasn't working (where we sat) and they were out of the dessert I wanted, but other than that I had a great time! I also loved how you go through a freezer door to get to the Tiki lounge. I kind of knew what to expect going in, so it met my expectations.

    Fun place although I would only come for a drink. The atmosphere is cute and well decorated like Christmas pirate boat. The tables are cocktail so eating is tight. Food was just ok.

    The food was amazing, and the service was great. Visited Firehouse 21 next door to get a few T-shirts as well. Great location. We will be back during our next trip to San Diego

    Large group celebrating a birthday on ALL YOU CAN EAT CRAB night (Thursday nights). The staff was great, they were attentive and always there to get us drinks or more crab! The team did a great job making sure the celebration went well. The crab was AMAZING. The chef stopped by to check on us and tell us how the crab is prepared. Overall great experience.
