    The rocky horror pop up bar was so much fun. They have great energy and the drinks were delicious.

    This is a return visit from us. The ambiance, the strong drinks, the interaction with the staff while the movie plays. If you are a fan of Rocky Horror then this is a must-do experience.

    Did not eat wouldn’t let me move on. Cocktails and atmosphere were great. Just like one noise level too loud but you could still talk. Great experience.

    I only marked Poor as we didn't eat there and were unaware if there were dining options, but the pop-up was so much fun! The staff dressed the part and were engaging with the customers. The decorations were so fun and I loved that the movie was playing on a big screen against the back wall. The service was fantastic and the drinks were delicious. Overall a great night and hope this comes back next year!

    We've done a few of the pop up bars but Rocky Horror was my least favorite of any we've been to. I thought being in the West Bottoms it was going to be in a cool old building, not a really dank basement. Parking was non-existent - the few spaces were taken by other events. Being at night the streets were really dark making it hard just to see anything. The bathrooms didn't work. The whole night was super awkward with how it was set up.

    We had a blast! Only downfall I would saw was we weren’t exactly sure we were at the right spot and no appetizers to go with our drinks. The atmosphere was great and servers were super fun!

    This was more drink oriented which is the only reason I gave a low review for food but the staff was wonderful, the drinks were fun and unique and the location was super interesting and the perfect location for the theme. Overall we had a wonderful time!
