Not like last year. Bestie and I were here last night for my birthday. The bartenders were not nice. The ambience was hostile, a bit aggressive. Definitely not Christmasy. The fluorescent lights were on bright so it drowned out the Christmas lights. This place did a snow show last year. I asked about it, got a lecture and no snow. Worst of all, they played extremely loud, annoying Hallmark movie, Lifetime channel basic white broad Christmas songs. With some skrillex mixed it. Weird. The other girlies started leaving.The drinks are delicious, especially Santa's Grog. But they ran out of it at 6pm. The Christmas decorations lacked spirit and soul. Hoping for better next year.

Wow! The crew at Mistletoe really knows how to get you in the holiday spirit. Put this spot at the top of your list for Christmas celebrations, and order from their specialty cocktail menu. Do not miss ordering a shot of their Let it Snow... and sit at the bar so you can get the fun surprise. I savored their rum, hot cocoa and toasted marshmallow cocktail; the warmth and flavors really hit the spot. The Christmas decor here is on point; they nailed it! Must experience this place. I spoke with the owner directly; great guy who has put a lot of work into this place and it shows. He has three locations in SF (this is a review for the Sutter street iteration), and I'm going to visit them all. Try to go on a week night when it's less crowded. They host official Santa Con shenanigans, so it's gonna get crowded this weekend. For good reason.

I came in on a Sunday night with no issues of getting a table. It's not a huge bar but big enough for a quick hang and drink. The service we received was kind. The space was festive and they had some artificial snow (bubble machine) that went off. It was a nice touch. We tried the espresso martini and it was very disappointing. I don't know it was the bartender or the drink itself but it wasn't good. I personally wouldn't come back when there are many other Christmas bars that are bigger with better drinks.

Pretty expensive (even for San Francisco) and WAY too loud to be a bar you could hang out in for very long.Also even though it was Sunday afternoon and the place wasn't very crowded, we waited and waited (and waited) to be acknowledged. Likely because we were not Marina Hipsters.The vibe was fine - and I did appreciate the unique holiday cocktails. We ordered a baked brie that was served in a sleigh.

If you're looking for a place to indulge in Christmas spirit, this is the spot! I came across this new holiday pop up bar on Yelp and had to check it out when I saw the photos.Immediately when you walk in, it feels so festive -- it's a small building but it's decorated everywhere. When someone orders the candy cane shot, they also turn the lights off and make it "snow" with this machine for the whole bar. They also played great Christmas music.The menu was so unique as well -- there is a side for snacks and a side for drinks. We got the baked brie and it came in a cute little sleigh (pictured). It came with four small pieces of bread and the brie was so soft and flavorful. The outside part of the Brie was also edible (phyllo dough) and tasted pretty good.For drinks, we ordered the Apres Ski (kinda like a hot chocolate cocktail), grandma's cozy egg nog, mistletoe espresso martini, and Santa's grog (kind of like an apple cider cocktail). My favorite was the Apres Ski -- it actually tasted close to hot chocolate and the rum flavor was subtle. I also enjoyed the three marshmallows it came with at the top. I enjoyed trying the espresso martini and Santa's grog, and the egg nog was probably my least favorite of the four because the bourbon flavor was overpowering The staff were so friendly and attentive, and gave us mini candy canes as we were leaving. I am so glad I discovered this new holiday bar, I would love to come here again and support this local business!

Such a great time at the drag brunch here! The queens absolutely sleighed and the vibes were immaculate. The Christmas decor was really cute too. The food was also pretty good, I got the oyster dip which was delicious, and the espresso martini. Naughty waffles were both fun and yummy. 10/10 would recommend and don't forget to tip your performers!!

The drinks are stiff. The atmosphere was festive and the foam snow machine was unexpected. The vibe is super fun and the Christmas light show was an awesome sight to put you in the spirit. Well worth the visit

Love this place! They just opened, the cocktails are awesome, and the food is on point. I haven't been to the drag brunch (yet) but I'm sure it's gonna be super fun. The whole place is super decked out -- red paint with green and gold stripes so it feels like the inside of a present. Sooo much garland, fun ornaments hanging from the ceiling, and a really great light/music show that they run every hour-ish. The tables have these super cute, cozy lil fireplaces and there's a sleigh at one end of the bar that you can stand in which is kinda perfect for photos. They clearly paid a lot of attention to detail! Highly recommend checking it out before this spot disappears in January!

Definitely visit this pop up bar. Has all the festive drinks & decorations & photo ops. The light show is fun & plays every 30 min or so. Service is great even on a busy night, I'm able to get a number of drinks. My friends and I all enjoyed. They did a really good job.
