I knew this place was around but never gave it a try until it made national headlines doing the Taylor Swift Eras tour pop-up!
However, it wasn’t until I came back during the Christmas pop-up where I fully appreciated incredible drinks, thoughtful decorations, and overall wholesome vibes that this bar have brought to the area!
As someone who loves the holiday season, I was just in awe seeing all the decor and more excited to give all the festive cocktails a try! Even though it can get pretty busy, it was awesome to see everyone just smiling and enjoying the fun atmosphere.
Huge shoutout to the dynamic duo Hannah & Dale behind the bar as they were incredibly welcoming and attentive to everyone and even shared some of their favorite off menu drinks with us. Definitely get the Tiki Santa cup, and ask for the peppermint patty shooter! Will most definitely stop by again before end of the season! 🙂

It’s a nice, cool experience to have if you want to try some seasonal cocktails. It’s a small bar but a cute decorative place depending on what their theme is. Staff are really friendly and might remember who you are if you’ve visited a few times. The bartender Ikey was a really chill and welcoming guy that made the experience better, got to talk with him a few times about my life. Other bartenders like Tim and Guita were really nice and helpful people who made me feel welcomed in the place too. Once they reopen with a different theme, I would recommend at least one time for anyone near the area

Always a fantastic time enjoying the theme of the season! It’s a medium sized space with no reservations and so you sometimes may have to wait to get in, but the staff does a great job handling the massive demand that comes to enjoy the pop up bar! Shoutout to the bouncers being super fun to chat with and kill time when they’re at capacity. Drink creations and menu are always fun and tasty. If you have a chance you must come by and check them out!

I visited ERAS pop up during its last weekend. Street parking was fairly easy for me to find near the location. We were warmly greeted by the team and seated promptly at an available table. Since we were a party of three once another large table became available the team promptly seated at the table. I was very impressed with the team’s customer service making sure tables were clean and available for patrons. The decor was thoughtful, bright, nostalgic and fun. The care put into highlighting albums, lyrics with the drinks and food menu, and overall atmosphere is amazing. We ordered the sliders, fry sampler, and chicken tenders. The beef sliders were juicy and very good. I chose to substitute without the special sauce and they were still juicy and tender. The fry sampler included potato fries, sweet potato fries, and tater tots and they were hot and fresh. The drinks were great as well! I had the lavender lemonade mocktail and sangria. The lavender lemonade was refreshing and the sangria was well mixed. The pricing for the cocktails were around $15 (depending on cocktail) and the food was moderately priced. I would definitely visit the pop up again to meet with friends or experience different themes.

We come at least once for every pop-up bar. It’s become a tradition. Always a nice time. Especially like the decorations for Joy On the Avenue. Everyone was so nice! Guitta was so great! Warned us that the brownies weren’t tiny! Helpful!

We had a great time at the Holiday Pop-Up bar! My only suggestion is, no kids!! It definitely hampered our experience, watching two kids run around a bar. If you’re going to have a man checking IDs at the front, I’d prohibit children.

Good spot for a cool drink in Del Ray, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was really cool inside! All the drink was great. The Chicken wing with rum sauce was my favorite one.
Good service, Dale was really friendly and super informative on drink options, you can tell he takes pride in their work.

If one can accept the very very long wait outside the cafe to be seated and the exorbitant price of regular food then this is a wonderful place to be for swifties! The decor, the themes props music is so fun and to be around and honestly it’s worth it. However my lavender mocktail had a withered lavender which was kinda sad, but the rest of the food was okay. I was surprised to know this wasn’t a part of Taylor’s management which again makes me question the pricing of food. But I had a good time and will say the ambiance was great

Loved being able to go to the Del Ray Taylor Swift Pop-up bar. The atmosphere was amazing. The service was phenomenal. Everyone was very attentive. The food was really good. I unfortunately don’t have pictures of the food. Tacos, pretzel, chicken tenders, and sliders were all good. I’d skip the dip next time. The drinks were really good.
