    This pop up was a little disappointing….no where to sit even if you book a reservation. Over priced drinks that were just ok. Ordered the hot chocolate very clove forward and was luke warm. Very small tent and was extremely crowded.

    Had such a good time here! Came with my cousin and sat at the bar in the yurt. The inside was cozy and smelled so good. Cocktails were awesome, hope to go again before it closes.

    Go for the ambiance but not much else. Drinks were good, but nothing special. Have a drink there and move on to someplace else.
