I went there this weekend with my friend. We waited for about an hour in line. the drinks are delicious but in my opinion over priced. They’re all $15-$16. Atmosphere is amazing and the decorations are very nice. It’s like a nice night out type of place, definitely would only buy one drink.

Edit: Jesus, the jasper syndicate is coming after me hard for this comment lol

No one forced me to wait in line. I wanted to be there, just an honest critique after the fact

We went last year and had the same experience.

It’s just a normal bar decorated. No reason to charge extra for simple Christmas drinks. But hey they can up charge because there’s a huge line everyday before they open.

They also pay a fee to be part of the “Miracle” pop-up series so it makes sense their cocktails might be a little more than normal

The only sense that is made from charging more for cocktails is to make more money

It doesn’t make sense to you that there would be a markup for something that cost them more to do in the first place? I’m not saying anything about whether or not I think it’s worth the price

I agree with you. It does make sense to me to mark up the price for more expensive drinks. The mark up is super high though, so I feel like they’re charging more for the “experience” as justification which is just profiting. Which they’re allowed to do

Most of their normal drink prices are $13-$14 and all the Miracle drinks except for one appear to be $14 so they aren’t even marking anything up from their normal price (which was surprising to me)

The cocktails weren’t all $15-$16, they were more in the $12-$14 range. They also had their normal beer/wine menu with cheaper options…
