   Great service, we enjoyed the food and Christmas feel. The drinks were scrumptious especially the pinacolada my friend mentioned. The food was delicious and the service was excellent.

   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.

   We enjoyed our drinks and food but the service was not good. Our table was in a corner and our waiter seemed to forget us. Some of the drinks took and food took too long to come out. Our server was no attentive to come back to check to see if we needed anything

   Siping Santa event was so fun. The over the top Tiki and XMas decor, theme drinks, great music. Staff is very friendly and attentive.

   The drinks were fantastic, as was the service. But, the food was underwhelming for the price tag. While the shrimp wraps and dan dan noodles were delicious and the flavor rich experience we were anticipating, the Pig Mac Bao was chewy, nearly all fat, and relatively bland. We found the braised short rib tacos to be tough and one dimensional flavor wise. It was a funky little spot, I’ll be returning for the drinks but won’t plan to be having dinner.

   A few friends went here for the sippin santa and it was so fun! I have been here before a couple times during the regular season and it was great then too! The food is good, a tiny bit on the high end price wise, but not really out of the ordinary for the area and definitely not the most expensive place. Our server was the best and she gave us handmade magnets at the end. Loved it

   We love Speakeasy's and The Grass Skirt was a lot of fun. Great drinks and the tacos were amazing. Anny (?) , our server was awesome. Totally recommend The Grass Skirt and Captain Quarters next door was awesome as well.
