Tipsy Elf

My husband and I went to tipsy elf the second weekend of December on a Saturday night. We arrived to bishop arts around 7:45pm and the big parking lot next to tipsy elf was already full. If you’re patient you can circle around and wait for people to leave but we went one street back and luckily found a spot at the library which is free. Street parking was full too. Once we walked over maybe a short 5 minute walk to tipsy elf at 8pm there was already a line. We ended up waiting about 30 minutes it moved well so it wasn’t too bad. It was definitely worth the wait though! It was so much fun. From the over the top Christmas decor to the yummy cocktails (the one with the horchata liquor was tasty) to the two DJ’s playing. We did not try any of the food this time. Also, there’s lines for the bathrooms so be patient. One of the four areas was closed for a private event but the other three areas were the best. We will definitely be back! Note if you arrive later around 9pm you could end up waiting 1-2 hours. Our friends arrived later and that’s what they waited. So definitely arrive at 8pm or earlier!

$10 for a 12oz miller lite can. No thanks. Heaters weren’t working. I guess it’s okay for the Instagrammers, since all I saw was selfie taking. Not a good experience. Bartenders with no social courtesies. At least all the lights are cool!

Tipsy Elf is a pop up that does seasonal themes. I've been to their Christmas one and now the summer beach one. Both times, I thought it was worth checking out just because you don't typically see this kind of decor or vibe from the typical bars. Drinks are pricey, though.

This place is absolutely beautiful. You can take so many great pictures. The atmosphere was so cool and fun. For some odd reason it was a few police officers walking around looking for trouble which is ridiculous honestly. And the manager was rude and ugly. It honestly make the experience not enjoyable but we did enjoy ourselves.

Went on December 28 with my best friend and his sister. We got our drinks, and they went to the bathroom while I held our table and filmed a few TikToks. When my friend arrived, I went to meet him, then rejoined my best friend and his sister on the dance floor. I danced for literally 3 minutes when a girl who was clearly very drunk came up, started dancing on me, and pulled me onto the dance platform. After about one minute, two cops suddenly grabbed me and dragged me off the stage. Once my friend confirmed they were talking about me, we were escorted by the cops all the way to the front. When we asked why I was being removed, they said it was “for everyone’s safety and my safety.” When I asked again for an actual reason, they said they “weren’t sure what substances I was on” — even though I was completely sober and on my first drink. To make it worse, when we kept asking for clarification, they told us they had been “watching me for an hour and a half,” which makes absolutely no sense because we had only been there for about 30 minutes total. That alone made the situation feel dishonest and targeted. I was simply waiting for my friends, having fun by myself, and enjoying the music. I’m ADHD and energetic, and it honestly felt like I was judged and singled out for being happy and dancing alone. The cops were rude, dismissive, and never gave a clear or truthful explanation. The entire experience was humiliating and completely ruined the night. If my friends and I ever come back, it would only be because this felt like a police issue, not a venue issue — but this was honestly a terrible experience.

The restrooms were not clean and the line was ridiculously long because they are unisex. It creates a bottleneck because guys don't take longer than 2-3 minutes to use the restroom. Yet, still have to stand in line because all restrooms are occupied.

The food was good. Service was awesome The restroom needs to be fix. There was flooding at the time and smelled horrible. The green alcoholic drink was pretty good. Mint chocolate

Very cool christmas pop up, the decorations are nice but the prices of the drinks are a bit inflated. There's a bunch of bars within the pop up, but make sure to arrive early or have a reservation because the line at 9pm on Saturday was just unbelievable.
