Thought it was going to be more festive. No QR codes or items to purchase as advertised. No food at all. I would not return. Not sure what the 10 cover was for!

Booked it for 2 hours. 50 minutes in, was told we had 10 minutes left. Manager came and gave us an extra 30 minutes. They weren’t even busy either! The phone number doesn’t even work. So don’t book it and try to change your reservation because the phone will ring and then say that this number isn’t accepting voicemails. Our waitress was not friendly. The drinks were good. That was the only plus to this place! I would NOT recommend!! Don’t waste your time or money coming here!

They charged us to get it with a time limit but then no one waited on us until I waved at the bartender after 10 minutes. The decor wasn’t anything special and it wasn’t comfortable sitting on metal backless stools. Don’t waste your money.

The ambiance was underwhelming. We were promptly kicked out at the 1 hour mark. Staff seemed like they had other places they would rather be.

Too much money for not great service, mediocre drinks, $21 for parking & ordering drinks that come with a Christmas ornament on the menu but then when they come with no order "oh we ran out". It's not even decorated that festive. Our table was Jake and wobbly, so we moved ourselves. You pay a fee to go in as well. Save your liberty and go to some of the other great pop ups in KC! Definitely won't go back next year.

It was only an hour when every other pop up bar is 2 hours. The drinks didn’t look good when served. Our reservation was at 5 and we didn’t get our first drink until 5:30. Therefore, we only had time for two drinks . Not worth the money!

It was that time of the year! Tinsel Tavern was decked out, people came themed, drinks were fantastic and the service was superior. I will definitely plan to go again next year or when they plan another themed pop up!
